==Common Name(s)==<br />
cycad blue butterfly, plains cupid<br />
<br />
==Taxonomy==<br />
*Order: '''Lepidoptera''' (moths and butterflies)<br />
**Family: '''Lycaenidae''' (coppers, hairstreaks, blues)<br />
***Species: '''''Chilades pandava'' (Horsfield)'''<br />
<br />
==Synonyms==<br />
*''Edales pandava'' (Horsfield) <br />
<br />
==Host(s)==<br />
*''Cycas revoluta'' (sago palm)<br />
*''Cycas micronesica'' (fadang)<br />
==Biology==<br />
Caterpillars of the cycad blue butterfly, ''Chilades pandava'', were first detected on Guam in 2005 feeding on two species of cycad: fadang, ''Cycas micronesica'' and sago palm, ''C. revoluta'' (A. Moore 2005). Previously, they were found on Saipan in 1996 feeding on ''C. revoluta'' ([http://www.micronesianinsects.com/PUB/ButterfliesOfMicronesia.pdf Schreiner & Nafus 1997]). They were found on Rota in 2006 (Badilles 2006) and on Tinian in 2006 (Marler 2007). The native range of this species is Sri Lanka to Thailand and eastern Indonesia. It was first recorded on the island of Mauritius in 2000 and caused the death of many cycad plants there ([http://www.gisp.org/downloadpubs/SOUTHERN.PDF MacDonald et. al 2003]). <br />
<br />
Eggs, which are pale green in color, are laid singly on newly emerging fronds before the leaves open. They are very small, but can be easily seen with the aid of a hand lens. Early instar larvae are purple and later instar larvae are green. The caterpillars feed only on new foliage before it hardens. <br />
<br />
High populations of cycad blue butterfly caterpillars result in complete defoliation of new foliage. Repeated defoliation may lead to plant mortality. Cycads on Guam are currently very susceptible to mortality because many have lost most or all of their leaves due to a severe infestation of the cycad Aulacaspis scale, ''Aulacaspis yasumatsui''. Loss of cycads from scale infestation has resulted in Guam's endemic, ''Cycas micronesica'', being added to the Red List of Threatened Species maintained by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) ([http://www.iucnredlist.org/search/details.php?species=61316&tab=summ Marler et al. 2006]). <br />
<br />
Late instar larvae of ''Chilades pandava'' are often attended by ants belonging to several species. Ant associations are common within the family Lycaenidae ([http://www.amonline.net.au/factsheets/lycaenid.htm Australian Museum Online 2006]). Ants protect larvae from parasites and predators in return for a sugary liquid exuded from special glands on the caterpillars' backs. Several species of ants have been observed to attend ''Chilades pandava'' on Guam and Saipan.<br />
<br />
==Control Recommendations==<br />
Defoliation caused by cycad blue butterfly larvae may be prevented by weekly applications of microbial insecticides containing ''Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki'' such as Dipel®*. These insecticides only kill feeding caterpillars and do not harm other organisms. <br />
<br />
University of Guam scientists are planning tests of injectable insecticides such as Abacide2®* for longterm protection of cycads.<br />
<br />
Effective natural control of ''Chilades pandava'' by predators or parasites has not been observed on Guam. An egg parasite, ''Trichogrammatoidea guamensis'', has been found, but the proportion of eggs parasitized is very low (Moore 2006). Protection of larvae by attendant ants may hinder establishment of effective biological control for this invasive species<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
===September 2007===<br />
<br />
* September 11, 2007 An adult female beetle was collected by Aldrin Manapat and James Thomas Hollingsworth and given to Brent Tibbatts, Division of Aquatic & Wildlife Resources (DAWR), Guam Department of Agriculture. Identified as ''Oryctes rhinoceros'' by A. Moore, University of Guam (UOG).<br />
* September 13, 2007 Brent Tibbatts & Renee Franquez from DAWR, and Aubrey Moore & Bob Bourgeois from UOG visited the collection site. No adult beetles were found, but feeding damage was seen on a nearby coconut growing on a vacant lot (13.50879N 144.80061E); 28 grubs were removed from a 2 m coconut stump beneath the damaged palm; a second coconut with feeding damage was found nearby (13.50774N 144.79942E).<br />
* September 14 - 18, 2007 Delimiting survey; infestation extends from the Hilton north along the beach until Fujita Rd.; feeding damage observed on many trees at the Fiesta Hotel; See Google Earth image of Tumon Bay above; If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, [http://www.guaminsects.net/kml/CRB_infestation_20070929.kmz click here] to view the data interactively.<br />
* September 19, 2007 Grubs were detected at Gun Beach by Ben Quichocho and Patrick Artero of the Guam Plant Inspection Station (13.52416N 144.80399E and 13.52428N 144.80405E).<br />
* September 20, 2007 CRB infestation was discussed at a meeting of the Guam Invasive Species Advisory Committee and Guam Department of Agriculture officials.<br />
* September 20, 2007 Press release informing public of infestation<br />
* September 22, 2007 Feeding damage detected at Faifai Beach<br />
* September 25, 2007 Adult beetle extracted from feeding burrow on coconut palm on Tumon Beach by Ben Quichocho<br />
* September 28, 2007 A landscaper phoned to report that he had found what appear to be CRB feeding burrows in three palm trees he had just transplanted. Fortunately, the source and destinate of these plants was within the known infested area of Tumon Bay. This report is evidence that CRB can be accidentally dispersed by landscapers and the plant nursery industry. <br />
* September 28, 2007 [[Movement of Palms, Logs, and Rotting Vegetation from Tumon Bay Area May Prevent Planned Eradication of the Coconut Rhinocerus Beetle, a Major Pest of Palms|Press Release]] advising people not to move palms and rotting plant material from Tumon to prevent accidental spread of CRB.<br />
<br />

* October 5, 2007 Senator Espaldon hosts meeting to discuss CRB eradication plan and composting of materials collected during sanitation to remove breeding sites<br />
* October 3 - 5, 2007 Fifty pheromone traps, donated by Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) were deployed to monitor extent of CRB infestation<br />
* October 7, 2007 Konrad Englberger, Invasive Species Coordinator for Micronesia, SPC, visited Guam to assess the CRB situation. Two male adults were found in bucket trap with vanes. Nine adult males and one adult female were dug out of decaying coconut logs nearby. Many grubs were extracted from decaying logs.<br />

An [[Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle Eradication Plan|eradication plan]] has been prepared with the goal of eliminating the threat of massive economic and environmental damage by this newly arrived invasive species. <br />
<br />
An '''environmental impact assessment''' for the Guam rhinoceros eradication project is available [[Media:CRB_EA.pdf|here]]. <br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
===September 2007===<br />
<br />
* September 11, 2007 An adult female beetle was collected by Aldrin Manapat and James Thomas Hollingsworth and given to Brent Tibbatts, Division of Aquatic & Wildlife Resources (DAWR), Guam Department of Agriculture. Identified as ''Oryctes rhinoceros'' by A. Moore, University of Guam (UOG).<br />
* September 13, 2007 Brent Tibbatts & Renee Franquez from DAWR, and Aubrey Moore & Bob Bourgeois from UOG visited the collection site. No adult beetles were found, but feeding damage was seen on a nearby coconut growing on a vacant lot (13.50879N 144.80061E); 28 grubs were removed from a 2 m coconut stump beneath the damaged palm; a second coconut with feeding damage was found nearby (13.50774N 144.79942E).<br />
* September 14 - 18, 2007 Delimiting survey; infestation extends from the Hilton north along the beach until Fujita Rd.; feeding damage observed on many trees at the Fiesta Hotel; See Google Earth image of Tumon Bay above; If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, [http://www.guaminsects.net/kml/CRB_infestation_20070929.kmz click here] to view the data interactively.<br />
* September 19, 2007 Grubs were detected at Gun Beach by Ben Quichocho and Patrick Artero of the Guam Plant Inspection Station (13.52416N 144.80399E and 13.52428N 144.80405E).<br />
* September 20, 2007 CRB infestation was discussed at a meeting of the Guam Invasive Species Advisory Committee and Guam Department of Agriculture officials.<br />
* September 20, 2007 Press release informing public of infestation<br />
* September 22, 2007 Feeding damage detected at Faifai Beach<br />
* September 25, 2007 Adult beetle extracted from feeding burrow on coconut palm on Tumon Beach by Ben Quichocho<br />
* September 28, 2007 A landscaper phoned to report that he had found what appear to be CRB feeding burrows in three palm trees he had just transplanted. Fortunately, the source and destinate of these plants was within the known infested area of Tumon Bay. This report is evidence that CRB can be accidentally dispersed by landscapers and the plant nursery industry. <br />
* September 28, 2007 [[Movement of Palms, Logs, and Rotting Vegetation from Tumon Bay Area May Prevent Planned Eradication of the Coconut Rhinocerus Beetle, a Major Pest of Palms|Press Release]] advising people not to move palms and rotting plant material from Tumon to prevent accidental spread of CRB.<br />

<div>This page is intended as a depository for information on an infestation of the coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB), ''Oryctes rhinoceros'', at Tumon Bay, Guam. CRB is a serius pest of palms. An [[Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle Eradication Plan|eradication plan]] has been prepared with the goal of eliminating the threat of massive economic and environmental damage by this newly arrived invasive species. <br />
<br />
An '''environmental impact assessment''' for the Guam rhinoceros eradication project is available [[Media:CRB_EA.pdf|here]]. <br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
===September 2007===<br />
<br />
* September 11, 2007 An adult female beetle was collected by Aldrin Manapat and James Thomas Hollingsworth and given to Brent Tibbatts, Division of Aquatic & Wildlife Resources (DAWR), Guam Department of Agriculture. Identified as ''Oryctes rhinoceros'' by A. Moore, University of Guam (UOG).<br />
* September 13, 2007 Brent Tibbatts & Renee Franquez from DAWR, and Aubrey Moore & Bob Bourgeois from UOG visited the collection site. No adult beetles were found, but feeding damage was seen on a nearby coconut growing on a vacant lot (13.50879N 144.80061E); 28 grubs were removed from a 2 m coconut stump beneath the damaged palm; a second coconut with feeding damage was found nearby (13.50774N 144.79942E).<br />
* September 14 - 18, 2007 Delimiting survey; infestation extends from the Hilton north along the beach until Fujita Rd.; feeding damage observed on many trees at the Fiesta Hotel; See Google Earth image of Tumon Bay above; If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, [http://www.guaminsects.net/kml/CRB_infestation_20070929.kmz click here] to view the data interactively.<br />
* September 19, 2007 Grubs were detected at Gun Beach by Ben Quichocho and Patrick Artero of the Guam Plant Inspection Station (13.52416N 144.80399E and 13.52428N 144.80405E).<br />
* September 20, 2007 CRB infestation was discussed at a meeting of the Guam Invasive Species Advisory Committee and Guam Department of Agriculture officials.<br />
* September 20, 2007 Press release informing public of infestation<br />
* September 22, 2007 Feeding damage detected at Faifai Beach<br />
* September 25, 2007 Adult beetle extracted from feeding burrow on coconut palm on Tumon Beach by Ben Quichocho<br />
* September 28, 2007 A landscaper phoned to report that he had found what appear to be CRB feeding burrows in three palm trees he had just transplanted. Fortunately, the source and destinate of these plants was within the known infested area of Tumon Bay. This report is evidence that CRB can be accidentally dispersed by landscapers and the plant nursery industry. <br />
* September 28, 2007 [[Movement of Palms, Logs, and Rotting Vegetation from Tumon Bay Area May Prevent Planned Eradication of the Coconut Rhinocerus Beetle, a Major Pest of Palms|Press Release]] advising people not to move palms and rotting plant material from Tumon to prevent accidental spread of CRB.<br />
<br />

* October 5, 2007 Senator Espaldon hosts meeting to discuss CRB eradication plan and composting of materials collected during sanitation to remove breeding sites<br />
* October 3 - 5, 2007 Fifty pheromone traps, donated by Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) were deployed to monitor extent of CRB infestation<br />
* October 7, 2007 Konrad Englberger, Invasive Species Coordinator for Micronesia, SPC, visited Guam to assess the CRB situation. Two male adults were found in bucket trap with vanes. Nine adult males and one adult female were dug out of decaying coconut logs nearby. Many grubs were extracted from decaying logs.<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
===September 2007===<br />
<br />
* September 11, 2007 An adult female beetle was collected by Aldrin Manapat and James Thomas Hollingsworth and given to Brent Tibbatts, Division of Aquatic & Wildlife Resources (DAWR), Guam Department of Agriculture. Identified as ''Oryctes rhinoceros'' by A. Moore, University of Guam (UOG).<br />
* September 13, 2007 Brent Tibbatts & Renee Franquez from DAWR, and Aubrey Moore & Bob Bourgeois from UOG visited the collection site. No adult beetles were found, but feeding damage was seen on a nearby coconut growing on a vacant lot (13.50879N 144.80061E); 28 grubs were removed from a 2 m coconut stump beneath the damaged palm; a second coconut with feeding damage was found nearby (13.50774N 144.79942E).<br />
* September 14 - 18, 2007 Delimiting survey; infestation extends from the Hilton north along the beach until Fujita Rd.; feeding damage observed on many trees at the Fiesta Hotel; See Google Earth image of Tumon Bay above; If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, [http://www.guaminsects.net/kml/CRB_infestation_20070929.kmz click here] to view the data interactively.<br />
* September 19, 2007 Grubs were detected at Gun Beach by Ben Quichocho and Patrick Artero of the Guam Plant Inspection Station (13.52416N 144.80399E and 13.52428N 144.80405E).<br />
* September 20, 2007 CRB infestation was discussed at a meeting of the Guam Invasive Species Advisory Committee and Guam Department of Agriculture officials.<br />
* September 20, 2007 Press release informing public of infestation<br />
* September 22, 2007 Feeding damage detected at Faifai Beach<br />
* September 25, 2007 Adult beetle extracted from feeding burrow on coconut palm on Tumon Beach by Ben Quichocho<br />
* September 28, 2007 A landscaper phoned to report that he had found what appear to be CRB feeding burrows in three palm trees he had just transplanted. Fortunately, the source and destinate of these plants was within the known infested area of Tumon Bay. This report is evidence that CRB can be accidentally dispersed by landscapers and the plant nursery industry. <br />
* September 28, 2007 [[Movement of Palms, Logs, and Rotting Vegetation from Tumon Bay Area May Prevent Planned Eradication of the Coconut Rhinocerus Beetle, a Major Pest of Palms|Press Release]] advising people not to move palms and rotting plant material from Tumon to prevent accidental spread of CRB.<br />

* September 28, 2007 A landscaper phoned to report that he had found what appear to be CRB feeding burrows in three palm trees he had just transplanted. Fortunately, the source and destinate of these plants was within the known infested area of Tumon Bay. This report is evidence that CRB can be accidentally dispersed by landscapers and the plant nursery industry. <br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
===September 2007===<br />
<br />
* September 11, 2007 An adult female beetle was collected by Aldrin Manapat and James Thomas Hollingsworth and given to Brent Tibbatts, Division of Aquatic & Wildlife Resources (DAWR), Guam Department of Agriculture. Identified as ''Oryctes rhinoceros'' by A. Moore, University of Guam (UOG).<br />
* September 13, 2007 Brent Tibbatts & Renee Franquez from DAWR, and Aubrey Moore & Bob Bourgeois from UOG visited the collection site. No adult beetles were found, but feeding damage was seen on a nearby coconut growing on a vacant lot (13.50879N 144.80061E); 28 grubs were removed from a 2 m coconut stump beneath the damaged palm; a second coconut with feeding damage was found nearby (13.50774N 144.79942E).<br />
* September 14 - 18, 2007 Delimiting survey; infestation extends from the Hilton north along the beach until Fujita Rd.; feeding damage observed on many trees at the Fiesta Hotel; See Google Earth image of Tumon Bay above; If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, [http://www.guaminsects.net/kml/CRB_infestation_20070929.kmz click here] to view the data interactively.<br />
* September 19, 2007 Grubs were detected at Gun Beach by Ben Quichocho and Patrick Artero of the Guam Plant Inspection Station (13.52416N 144.80399E and 13.52428N 144.80405E).<br />
* September 20, 2007 CRB infestation was discussed at a meeting of the Guam Invasive Species Advisory Committee and Guam Department of Agriculture officials.<br />
* September 20, 2007 Press release informing public of infestation<br />
* September 22, 2007 Feeding damage detected at Faifai Beach<br />
* September 25, 2007 Adult beetle extracted from feeding burrow on coconut palm on Tumon Beach by Ben Quichocho<br />
* September 28, 2007 A landscaper phoned to report that he had found what appear to be CRB feeding burrows in three palm trees he had just transplanted. Fortunately, the source and destinate of these plants was within the known infested area of Tumon Bay. This report is evidence that CRB can be accidentally dispersed by landscapers and the plant nursery industry. <br />
* September 28, 2007 [[Movement of Palms, Logs, and Rotting Vegetation from Tumon Bay Area May Prevent Planned Eradication of the Coconut Rhinocerus Beetle, a Major Pest of Palms|Press Release]] advising people not to move palms and rotting plant material from Tumon to prevent accidental spread of CRB.<br />

* October 5, 2007 Senator Espaldon hosts meeting to discuss CRB eradication plan and composting of materials collected during sanitation to remove breeding sites<br />
* October 3 - 5, 2007 Fifty pheromone traps, donated by Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) were deployed to monitor extent of CRB infestation<br />
* October 7, 2007 Konrad Englberger, Invasive Species Coordinator for Micronesia, SPC, visited Guam to assess the CRB situation. Two male adults were found in bucket trap with vanes. Nine adult males and one adult female were dug out of decaying coconut logs nearby. Many grubs were extracted from decaying logs.<br />
* October 25, 2007 - Roland Quitugua's University of Guam Ag. 100 class assists with RCB field research at Trankilidot, Tumon, Guam [http://www.guaminsects.net/CRB/Rhino%20Class.ppt PowerPoint Presentation]<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
===September 2007===<br />
<br />
* September 11, 2007 An adult female beetle was collected by Aldrin Manapat and James Thomas Hollingsworth and given to Brent Tibbatts, Division of Aquatic & Wildlife Resources (DAWR), Guam Department of Agriculture. Identified as ''Oryctes rhinoceros'' by A. Moore, University of Guam (UOG).<br />
* September 13, 2007 Brent Tibbatts & Renee Franquez from DAWR, and Aubrey Moore & Bob Bourgeois from UOG visited the collection site. No adult beetles were found, but feeding damage was seen on a nearby coconut growing on a vacant lot (13.50879N 144.80061E); 28 grubs were removed from a 2 m coconut stump beneath the damaged palm; a second coconut with feeding damage was found nearby (13.50774N 144.79942E).<br />
* September 14 - 18, 2007 Delimiting survey; infestation extends from the Hilton north along the beach until Fujita Rd.; feeding damage observed on many trees at the Fiesta Hotel; See Google Earth image of Tumon Bay above; If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, [http://www.guaminsects.net/kml/CRB_infestation_20070929.kmz click here] to view the data interactively.<br />
* September 19, 2007 Grubs were detected at Gun Beach by Ben Quichocho and Patrick Artero of the Guam Plant Inspection Station (13.52416N 144.80399E and 13.52428N 144.80405E).<br />
* September 20, 2007 CRB infestation was discussed at a meeting of the Guam Invasive Species Advisory Committee and Guam Department of Agriculture officials.<br />
* September 20, 2007 Press release informing public of infestation<br />
* September 22, 2007 Feeding damage detected at Faifai Beach<br />
* September 25, 2007 Adult beetle extracted from feeding burrow on coconut palm on Tumon Beach by Ben Quichocho<br />
* September 28, 2007 A landscaper phoned to report that he had found what appear to be CRB feeding burrows in three palm trees he had just transplanted. Fortunately, the source and destinate of these plants was within the known infested area of Tumon Bay. This report is evidence that CRB can be accidentally dispersed by landscapers and the plant nursery industry. <br />
* September 28, 2007 [[Movement of Palms, Logs, and Rotting Vegetation from Tumon Bay Area May Prevent Planned Eradication of the Coconut Rhinocerus Beetle, a Major Pest of Palms|Press Release]] advising people not to move palms and rotting plant material from Tumon to prevent accidental spread of CRB.<br />

* October 5, 2007 Senator Espaldon hosts meeting to discuss CRB eradication plan and composting of materials collected during sanitation to remove breeding sites<br />
* October 3 - 5, 2007 Fifty pheromone traps, donated by Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) were deployed to monitor extent of CRB infestation<br />
* October 7, 2007 Konrad Englberger, Invasive Species Coordinator for Micronesia, SPC, visited Guam to assess the CRB situation. Two male adults were found in bucket trap with vanes. Nine adult males and one adult female were dug out of decaying coconut logs nearby. Many grubs were extracted from decaying logs.<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
===September 2007===<br />
<br />
* September 11, 2007 An adult female beetle was collected by Aldrin Manapat and James Thomas Hollingsworth and given to Brent Tibbatts, Division of Aquatic & Wildlife Resources (DAWR), Guam Department of Agriculture. Identified as ''Oryctes rhinoceros'' by A. Moore, University of Guam (UOG).<br />
* September 13, 2007 Brent Tibbatts & Renee Franquez from DAWR, and Aubrey Moore & Bob Bourgeois from UOG visited the collection site. No adult beetles were found, but feeding damage was seen on a nearby coconut growing on a vacant lot (13.50879N 144.80061E); 28 grubs were removed from a 2 m coconut stump beneath the damaged palm; a second coconut with feeding damage was found nearby (13.50774N 144.79942E).<br />
* September 14 - 18, 2007 Delimiting survey; infestation extends from the Hilton north along the beach until Fujita Rd.; feeding damage observed on many trees at the Fiesta Hotel; See Google Earth image of Tumon Bay above; If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, [http://www.guaminsects.net/kml/CRB_infestation_20070929.kmz click here] to view the data interactively.<br />
* September 19, 2007 Grubs were detected at Gun Beach by Ben Quichocho and Patrick Artero of the Guam Plant Inspection Station (13.52416N 144.80399E and 13.52428N 144.80405E).<br />
* September 20, 2007 CRB infestation was discussed at a meeting of the Guam Invasive Species Advisory Committee and Guam Department of Agriculture officials.<br />
* September 20, 2007 Press release informing public of infestation<br />
* September 22, 2007 Feeding damage detected at Faifai Beach<br />
* September 25, 2007 Adult beetle extracted from feeding burrow on coconut palm on Tumon Beach by Ben Quichocho<br />
* September 28, 2007 A landscaper phoned to report that he had found what appear to be CRB feeding burrows in three palm trees he had just transplanted. Fortunately, the source and destinate of these plants was within the known infested area of Tumon Bay. This report is evidence that CRB can be accidentally dispersed by landscapers and the plant nursery industry. <br />
* September 28, 2007 [[Movement of Palms, Logs, and Rotting Vegetation from Tumon Bay Area May Prevent Planned Eradication of the Coconut Rhinocerus Beetle, a Major Pest of Palms|Press Release]] advising people not to move palms and rotting plant material from Tumon to prevent accidental spread of CRB.<br />

<div>This page is intended as a depository for information on an infestation of the coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB), ''Oryctes rhinoceros'', at Tumon Bay, Guam. CRB is a serius pest of palms. An [[Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle Eradication Plan|eradication plan]] has been prepared with the goal of eliminating the threat of massive economic and environmental damage by this newly arrived invasive species. <br />
<br />
An '''environmental impact assessment''' for the Guam rhinoceros eradication project is available [[Media:CRB_EA.pdf|here]]. <br />
