Bananahead, not sure what this is in regards to "fyi... newbie malihini ALWAYS encourage invasives!" however, our neighbor with the infected, almost-dead orchard of trees has been in the house longer than the trees, which were planted in the late 1940s, so not at all a "newbie malihini"!
The most important thing to remember is that once this beetle is in an area, and they are in Puna, they can fly, so now this is another invasive that we all must be diligent at looking for the tell-tale signs they are in our trees & not worry about pointing fingers! Or watch it munch away many of the trees you have.
