Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros A Major Threat to Hawaii’s Coconut and Palm Trees Aubrey Moore UG Arnold H. Hara University of Hawaii at Manoa College of Tropical Agriculture & Human Resources 875 Komohana St. Hilo, Hawaii E-mail: arnold@hawaii.edu

Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) Native range: Southeastern Asia *CRB was introduced throughout the Pacific primarily as a result of the increased sea traffic during World War II. *Most recently, CRB was discovered in Guam on Sep 2007. *Primary damage is adults boring from the petioles of fronds into the crown cutting through developing leaves feeding on the exuded sap. *The beetle breeds in dead standing coconut palms killed by pest /disease/ lightning, decaying organic materials like compost and sawdust heaps. (Bedford, 1980). *Eggs hatch in 8-12 days and larvae feed on decaying coconut/palm debris for 82-207 days. *Prepupal and Pupal stage is 25-35 days and the adult remains in the pupal cell for 17-22 days. *Adults live for 4-9 months and each female lays 50-100 eggs. (M. Schmaedick 2005 Am. Samoa) egg 1st instar 3rd instar Female shorter horn than male Female w/fuzzy Orange rear. pupa

Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) damage symptoms *Primary damage is adults boring from the petioles of fronds into the crown cutting through developing unopen fronds feeding on the exuded sap. Active adult boring hole thru petiole *V-shape cut on open fronds. *Similar to mechanical pruning damage to unopened fronds Active adult boring hole in Petiole “wet look” Coconut fibers from adult boring

Damage to Foxtail palm emerging frond Boring with exposed coconut fiber

Area of attack by adult beetle Older adult boring hole Old boring thru trunk Adult boring hole thru frond petiole

Symptoms of CRB Attack: V-cut with associated lateral boring thru fronds

Boring damage to folded new terminal growth: Damage is semi-circular

Major Breeding Site with all CRB stages, Asan, Guam

Asan Beach Guam Dead Coconut Tree with CRB Adults and grubs found in rotting coconut trunk terminal O9/13

Most Efficient CRB Trap in Guam Uv LED light 50 gal steel barrel filled with rotting coconut debris, live CRB, grubs & aggregation pheromone. Ultraviolet LED light over trap. Chicken wire allows CRB to enter but cannot fly out. (Moore & Quitugua, per. com. 09/13) Pheromone w/CRB

Hooded Vane Trap Trap with chicken wire instead of vane Uv LED light plus pheromone Increase trap Efficiency (Moore & Quitugua Pers. Com. 09/13) Trap w/ CRB pheromone Increase efficacy of traps by rotting coconut stumps placed beneath trap with CRB pheromone Guam 09/13
