    Predators are dependent on the capture of prey to meet their energetic and nutritive requirements, which brings the risk of predation to prey. The predation risk is divided into consumptive and non-consumptive effects. Non-consumptive effects may manifest through altered growth and ontogenetic trajectories in prey species, a dynamic modulated by olfactory or other sensory cues from predators. Hendel represents a major invasive threat to global horticulture. While earlier research was primarily centered on the consumptive interactions between and its natural enemies, the potential consequences of non-consumptive interactions on the development of have been overlooked. In this study, we investigated the impact of predation risk effects, induced by both visual exposure to the predatory mantis Serville and its associated odor, on the life history traits of . Female demonstrated a reduced developmental time in the presence of a caged predator ( or predator odors, but showed significantly increased fecundity. Conversely, males displayed no significant change in developmental time. Additionally, neither the female nor male body weight at death was significantly influenced by the predation risk from the caged predator or predator odors. This study investigated the effects of predation risk on the development and reproduction of , emphasizing the potential importance of odor risk in biological and pest control.
