Mostly it matters if they are eating native insects. If they stayed in the urban and developed areas and ate roaches and grasshoppers it wouldn’t be such a big deal, but on Oahu they are getting up in the mountains and are negatively impacting native forests.

We just saw one big male nearby Miloli’i. It was crossing the road between macadamian plantations. It was beautiful!

I live in Ocean View, on the Big Island of Hawaii, and have, for the first time found 5 of these beetles in my kukui tree. I have never before seen them here.

Likewise for me – in fact, you inspired me to start posting on this blog again. I’m going out again tomorrow and will be looking for more of these holes in the buds.

Good seeing you at the PEC. The leaf damage does look like Chinese rose beetle. Those white footed ants sure get around over there. Interesting about the flower bud bore hole, would be nice to know what’s doing that.
