how to kill coconut rinoceros larva

Like watching old people f**k listening to her talk… jeez.

Is biological control an option?

Thanks for this! 🙏🤙

CRBs are not that harmful for the coconut palm trees. Red beetle ,another beetle type that enters tru the holes/ puncture that made by the CRB and then multiplies.....

Where is your email number

Can anyone please tell me that how to sell them

I have many rhinoceros beetles

Do you want to buy a rhinoceros beetle

Mahalo for sharing this webinar. I learned a lot about what can and cannot be done to help from a citizen level 🌱

I live on oahu and it is visibly obvious how much pest irradiation is not a priority here. Good job on Maui for caring enough to give proper funding 👏🏽

now in 2024 they are statewide especially here on the big island ,, they are destroying palms here in Hilo by the hundreds we've lost about half of the palms on our muni golf course and town areas sadly no ones stepped up when we all new something was up with the palms but state / county didn't do shite about it as usual per hilo side ,, same with the coqui frogs when first hit the island or fire ants for that matter all completely 100% out of control at this point I've even lost pets to fire ants ,,, and now just this week have found a huge amount of coconut beetle larvae in my garden ,, going to AG today to see whats my best option for control but if i have them so do all my neighbors just one more dagger in our Keaukaha community ,, only hope is because we've seen a increase in tourist in our area from about 1000 to 0ver 10,000 per week the state / county will step up to protect the newly renovated parks to protect their tourist investment ,, sad but true

Ecologist from New England here preparing for my first (and probably only) visit to the islands. Can't say I'm surprised by this, but also can't help but already feeling depressed by how dire the terrestrial gastropod situation seems. Drain spirals are everywhere in the natural world thanks to us humans.

Very interesting. Take Note: I watched/listened to all of this discussion on Sunday 24/12/2023 to add to all the research I have done on Sea Urchins since early 2023.

maybe release some goats or sheep species that are browsers especially in areas where it is in high number... or find the animal that eat the seeds of this tree in their native range, at the same time finding the predator of those bugs in P. new guinea so you create a ecosystem.

WOW!! What a wonderful award. CONGRATULATIONS ULOHA!!!

Jonathan Ho, I have questions and doubts about your agencies effectiveness and it revolves around the managers that you have that are charged with being the first, and front line defensive mechanism of Hawaii to prevent the invasion of these species in Hawaii. EVERYTHING passes through your managers hands and processes and should be stopped at this level. Front line workers tell stories about managers that literally kill efforts and cause short term and short sighted eradication efforts that are only contract long, and once the money dries up, these problems become swept under the rug and new contracts for new problems are necessary. Please speak to the problems you see with the overall system you work with that has bottlenecks, misuse, waste, theft and misappropriation of funds and other problems that underly the efforts your office makes to control and far.more importantly for you, PREVENT the existence of these noxious species in our Islands. How do your managers instruct the workers to do the very important front line work of being the defense for our fragile defenseless symbiotic ecosystem that IS Hawaii Nei? How can things be changed and improved to make this issue of the most importance? I propose constitutional amendments that simply charge the government of Hawaii to prioritize the State Motto and fulfill its requirements.

I live in NW Ohio and the spotted lantern fly was spotted in southern ohio. I tell all my friends and family about the importance of educating about invasive species. Great webinar.

How can I refer your work if I want to use this in a review paper. Or if you have published reserch paper related to this topic please let me know. I am from India , I am a phd 1st yr student of ecotoxicology.

I always loved all rhinoceros beetles but I live in hawaii and I like emm. They destroy palm trees but there's billions of palms. And coqui frogs don't do anything so you can't really complain.

I got in ocean view from eating a salads

Aloha mau e Fern, such a positive force for conservation and already missed by your colleagues. We carry on because of your inspiration.

What if there was a way to increase egg production by genetically selecting individuals that produce more eggs. Or if they have a marine ancestor it probably lays more eggs. Perhaps the gene related to egg production could be modified. If the wolf snail was native the tree snails would probably have larger clutches of eggs. Could this be a possible solution?

Great Presentation, Marli! Thank you for sharing

Very interesting & informative presentation. Im just pasting this here bc I was curious about it: Pathogens contributing to rapid ohia death Rapid 'Ōhi'a Death (ROD) is caused by two strains of the fungus Ceratocystis that until now, where unknown to science. Ceratocystis lukuohia, destroyer of 'ōhi'a and Ceratocystis huliohia, turning of 'ōhi'a. Both fungi infect and kill 'ōhi'a by attacking the vascular system of the tree.

They eat Date palm to.

I'd love to know more about sand in tree crowns. I've been seeing stuff about sand and neem oil up there. I wonder how effective it is and how often it would need to be reapplied

should have far more views. Very valuable info. Thanks!

Is there a more recent set of studies and maps?

Thank you!

I enjoyed the virtual Huaka'i! Great talk overall. Such a unique ecosystem.

Great presentation, mahalo Franny!

Chocolate chip cookies are an excellent bait for these critters!

I would love to be a source from Molokai. Thinking of selling my parcel in Puna for one Molokai.

Hello, I recently watched a video in which someone from Hawaii mentions being required to kill 1 mongoose a day by a farmer he worked for years ago and drowning them in a bucket. I said that sounded like a disgusting way to kill an animal, and he said that was the quickest and most effective because of the traps, although he didn't like doing it. So, how are they supposed to be dealt with?
