Abstract
Recent PPQ survey interceptions of the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) confirms that this serious pest of coconut palms is established in the Hickam AFB area. A joint PPQ HDOA effort has recently discovered a large compost heap at Mamala Bay golf course containing all stages of development. Native to southern Asia, this scarab has caused extensive damage to coconut palms on Guam since their discovery in 2009. Record Created: 17-Oct-2016
