Big, hungry and hard to kill, the coconut rhino beetle bores into the tops of coconut palms, eating growing tissues, drinking the sap, ripping into the bases of fronds and exposing the plant to disease. Then it crawls off to breed, preferably in piles of mulch or trash. Adults can grow up to two inches long and live to the ripe old age of three months.
Big, hungry, and hard to kill. Those are the exact same words that my grandfather used to describe The Beatles back in '64.
Grandpop was kinda set in his ways.
He was still mad about being forced to drink warm beer during the war.
