Kailiili woods, in the region of Hocking's
old saw mill, to study the "Olinda
bug." While it is doing great damage
to the koa trees, its ravages are most
apparent in the wattle trees. It seems
to begin at the outer end of the leaf or
stem and work towards the trunk of
the tree. While this beetle is doing
much damage to the koa trees, the
worst and most active enemy of the
koa just at present is a little white
worm which attacks the tree at the
junction of the tender twigs with the
larger branches.
Young trees suffer
most. Thousands of these have been
killed already.
