Hawaii Intensifies Efforts Against Coconut Rhinoceros Beetles, First Detected in 2013, Can Fly 2 Miles and Lay 140 Eggs
Oct 24, 2024, 02:16 PM
Hawaii is intensifying its efforts to combat the spread of the coconut rhinoceros beetle, an invasive species that has significantly increased its presence in the state since it was first detected in 2013. The beetles, which are native to Africa and China, can fly up to two miles and lay approximately 140 eggs, posing a serious threat to local vegetation. The state's Invasive Species Council has reported multiple detections of the beetle in recent months, prompting officials to implement new regulations aimed at controlling its spread. The beetle was first identified in Hawaii at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and has expanded its range across the islands over the past year.
