Asiatic rhinoceros beetle
The Asiatic rhinoceros beetle or coconut rhinoceros beetle,〔(Oryctes rhinoceros (insect) )〕〔(''Oryctes rhinoceros'' )〕 (''Oryctes rhinoceros'') is a species of rhinoceros beetle belonging to the Scarabaeidae family. ''O. rhinoceros'' attacks the developing fronds of Raffia,〔http://uses.plantnet-project.org/en/Raphia_farinifera_(PROTA)〕 coconut, oil, and other palms in tropical Asia and a number of Pacific islands. Damaged fronds show typical triangular cuts. The beetle kills the palms (particularly newly planted ones) when the growing point is destroyed during feeding. The larvae do not damage crops, but instead grow in dead, decaying trunks and other organic matter.〔http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/adap/ASCC_LandGrant/Dr_Brooks/BrochureNo8.pdf〕
Control measures include the use of cultural methods, such as crop sanitation and the use of cover crops, pheromones, together with biological controls such as the manipulation of ''Metarhizium majus''
The beetle is an invasive species in Hawaii, where it was found on December 23, 2013. It is believed to have been brought there in air cargo.
