夏威夷岛Kurtistown发现椰子犀角甲虫 州农业部门设一英里围查区
夏威夷州农业与生物安全局（DAB）11月13日通报，在夏威夷岛Kurtistown地区的一个诱捕器中发现一只活体雄性椰子犀角甲虫（CRB），提醒公众注意。发现地点位于夏威夷县东部社区。
该局已通知合作机构，生物安全官员将在发现点周围设立一英里围查区，搜寻其他甲虫与可能的繁殖地，并在该区域增设诱捕器。椰子犀角甲虫2013年底首次在夏威夷被发现，2023年10月在夏威夷岛Waikoloa地区首次检出，此后在岛上多处出现。
成虫钻入棕榈树冠取食树液，会损坏未展开的新叶，严重时可致树木死亡，是关岛、印度、菲律宾及南太平洋多地的主要棕榈害虫。该局呼吁居民通过CRB响应网站学习识别虫害迹象，并可拨打害虫热线643-PEST（3787）报告疑似发现。

Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle Found in Kurtistown on Hawaii Island; State Sets One-Mile Search Perimeter
The Hawaii Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity (DAB) announced on November 13 that a live male coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB) was discovered in a trap in the Kurtistown area of Hawaii Island, in Hawaii County, and alerted the public.
The department has notified partner agencies. Biosecurity officers will establish a one-mile perimeter around the detection site to search for additional beetles and possible breeding grounds, and more traps will be placed in the area. CRB was first detected in Hawaii in late 2013 and was first found on Hawaii Island in the Waikoloa area in October 2023; it has since been detected across the island.
Adult beetles bore into the crowns of palm trees to feed on sap, damaging new unopened fronds that may break and fall when fully opened, and damage to the growing point can kill the tree. CRB is a major pest of palms in Guam, India, the Philippines and much of the South Pacific. Residents are encouraged to learn the signs of CRB damage through the CRB Response website and to report suspected beetles or damage through the pest hotline at 643-PEST (3787).
