The biological properties of the small black sawer beetle (SBSB), which is mainly destructive insect species for fire-damaged timbers in Da Xing An Ling region in China have been researched. Their main properties are: 1. The SBSB occures one generation one year in this region and their larvae overwinter in xylem. 2. The pupation starts in in late May and peak occures in early June. 3. The emergence of adults starts in early June and reach the peak in late June. 4. The oviposition peak and hatching peak are in early July and middle July respectively. 5. The average period of pupa, egg, adult and larva are 19,9, 15-30 and 250-300 days respectively.
