Destructive beetles found in Pearl City

State crews this week discovered an infestation of coconut rhinoceros beetles at a farm on the Pearl City peninsula.

The Department of Agriculture said Friday that about 206 larvae and two male adult beetles were discovered Monday at the farm on Waiawa Road. Crews spotted the infestation after they conducted routine surveillance and observed a few larvae in a mulch pile.

After the discovery, the state expanded surveillance of the pests to the Pearl Harbor Bike Path from the H-1 freeway and between Lehua Avenue and Leeward Community College.

Coconut rhinoceros beetles were first detected on Oahu in December 2013 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. So far, the beetles have not been spotted on the neighbor islands.
