Beetles destroying palm trees

[pbmaise]

While researching the deaths of Ohia trees I found this nasty beetle.

Giant 'coconut rhino beetle' invades
Hawaii

I don't see a separate thread on this important issue and wanted to start one here to draw attention to this threat.

In addition to Ohia loss, which may be due to a different or same beetle, Puna faces the loss of most coconut trees.

Has this bug made the jump to the Big Island?

Anyone suffering recent loss of palm trees, not owing to wind?
