A specially trained dog named Manu is now the island’s secret weapon against coconut rhinoceros beetles, which are tearing through Hawai'i’s palm trees and leaving growers desperate. Manu and his handler can find beetle larvae hidden deep in piles of wood chips and debris—places humans would never think to look. This canine detective work is giving scientists a fighting chance to save beloved palms and local landscapes. If you have palm trees, keep an eye out for holes or damaged leaves, and clear away decaying wood. How do you tackle yard pests where you live? #Science #Hawaii #InvasiveSpecies
