[Objective] The paper was to explore the oviposition site selection of Anoplophora glabripennis in sugar maple and its gnawing nidus oviposition habits. [Method] Through field and indoor rearing observation, the oviposition site selection of A. glabripennis in sugar maple was studied, and the gnawing nidus oviposition habits were analyzed. [Result] The height of oviposition site of A. glabripennis in sugar maple, the number observation holes （gnawing nidus oviposition points） and bark thickness in oviposition site showed linear correlation with diameter of branch at breast height. The gnawing nidus oviposition habit of A. glabripennis in sugar maple was mainly divided into 4 stages： gnawing nidus site selection, gnawing nidus, oviposition and nidus sealing, the duration from gnawing nidus to nidus sealing was（38.29±16.47）min. [Conclusion] The study provided reference for comprehensive prevention of A. glabripennis in greening tree species sugar maple, as well as further study on reproductive behavior and regulation mechanism of A. glabripennis.
