While visiting and working on a story for @ナショナルジオグラフィック, I was at the North Gate of #Taprohm in the temples of #AngkorWat. As I learned in to shoot a photo I almost laid my hands on this #MangoStemBorer beetle.
This type of beetle can be a serious pest. The female cuts the tree bark and lays eggs into these cuts, laying a total of up to 200. On hatching the larvae start to tunnel into the sapwood of the trunk or branches, this development can take up to 2 years. Attack by Batocera rufomaculata often leads to the death of the tree. Economic loss can follow when the tree attacked bears fruits . The adult beetle emerges by a short tunnel running to the exterior and ending in a circular exit-hole. This beetle is good example of a invasive species. #evolution @Robert Clark @thephotosociety
