UPDATE(!!) to this: I contacted Roland Quitigua (expert on the coconut rhino beetle on GU) personally & sent him pics of the trees. He assured me that although I saw some trees with boring holes in the trunks, it may just be another pest, the weevil. https://twitter.com/Lani4Pasifika/status/1158703983524900865 …

For anyone who wants to report a possible sighting or questionable tree, EMAIL quituquarj@triton.uog.edu with pics as soon as you notice damage, send GPS coordinates/location if possible, and CALL 671-735-2093. The number on his website link isn't his direct line just fyi.

Dude thank you SO MUCH for doing a great job of keeping them out. My dad retired from Customs & Quarantine. I don't doubt our officers do a fantastic job inspecting cargo, but I wouldn't put it past ppl to sneak in ornamental plants for show SOMEHOW. Some dont care as much as us.
