Hi Karl & Daniel,
I found one of these big boys (head to tail 9,4 cm) yesterday in my garden in Maragogi, state of Alagoas in Brazil.
We are suffering of lots of insects which infect our coconut trees, some of them died or dying. Can you tell me if this Callipogon Armillatus is a threat to coconut trees and if so, how to fight it without chemicals?
PS we found a lot of so called coconut tree rhino beetles (5cm) and their larves (up to 8 cm long).. please help
thanks a lot! By the way, super website!

Hi Karl, whats your source for this? This is indeed a Callipogon armillatus, but I didnt knew that it also occurs on the caribean islands?
