This is the infamous red beetle that devours palm trees

In the videos that follow you will see the red beetle larvae in the developing environment, as well as the adult female insect. The videos were taken during the cutting and removal of an infected palm tree in the area of Polichni, Thessaloniki.

So if you notice a sudden change in the shape of your palm, that is, the sudden tilting of one or more of its leaves giving an image of an umbrella with the leaves lying on top of each other or you find holes in the periphery of the younger leaves near the heart or a red beetle ( like the one in the photo) on the trunk or down on the ground then most likely your palm tree has been infected by the red beetle.
