Euwallacea interjectus
Biology:
Browne, 1961: This fairly large shothole borer is very widely distributed. The beetle will readily infest trees in numerous plant families but it is more strongly attracted to some, notably the Urticaceae. It has been found in injured trees, dying trees, and recently cut logs. It normally infests timber of moderate to large size. The nest has a rather short entrance tunnel which soon branches at a wide angle, the branches tending to lie in one transverse plane and to follow the curvature of the log, there are no brood chambers.
