Beetles

The Mediterranean Flat-headed Root-borer Beetle (Capnodis tenebrionis) is a pest that damages stone fruit trees like apricot, peach, plum, and almond. It is common in the Mediterranean region. Damage occurs as larvae tunnel into the roots and lower trunks, and adults feed on leaves and young branches.
