The bioactivity of oils and extracts obtained species Commiphora myrrha,
Styrax benzoin, and Boswellia papyrifera has been investigated by several researches [22-31]; these aromatic resins basically consist of monoterpenes (C10H16), triterpenes (C30H48), and sesquiterpenes (C15H24) with unique combinations, besides benzoic, myrrholic, andboswellic acids, respectively [32-37]; the demonstration of the presence of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants oils, extracts, and resins provides a scientific validation for the popular use of these plants [38-42].
For example, Pseudoscymnus sylvaticus mothers lay their eggs on galls of certain aphid species (Tuberocephalus sasakii, which forms galls on cherry tree leaves, or Ceratovacuna nekoashi, which forms galls on fruits of Japanese snowbell,
Styrax japonica), and the hatched larvae forage exclusively on the aphids in the gall.
