This bug is seen on our Gliricidia since 15 Oct 2015.

Dear Kavi,
Your name is remarkably similar to the name of your Longhorned Borer Beetles, commonly called the Kiawe Borer. It is a non-native species that feeds on introduced, cultivated mesquite plant. Since Gliricidia and Mesquite are in the same family, perhaps the Kiawe Borer has adapted to boring in the wood of the former.
Dear sir

Native Hawaiian beetles are so threatened by invasive, exotic imports that we do not condone using our site as a means to further the reduction of the numbers of native insects.

Do these kiawe borers have mites on them? specifically Pyremotes?
