Spot one on your property? Report it via the 643PEST Network for education and guidance, not immediate cleanup. Public land sightings also count, but treatment usually requires a government agency request. Papaya trees? Unlikely victims—these beetles prefer palms and similar plants; suspect the oriental flower beetle instead. If you find them, check the CRB Hawaii site for treatment tips, as they also feed on hala, bananas, and sugarcane. The state’s Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity is managing the response—call 808-643-PEST or visit 643pest.org to help keep things under control.
