Katyayani Beetle Lure (DYNASTINAE)

• Rhinoceros beetles are herbivorous insects named for the horn-like projections on and around the males’ heads. Most are black, grey, or greenish in colour, and some are covered in soft hairs. Another name given to some of these insects is the Hercules beetle, because they possess a strength of Herculean proportion. Adults of some species can lift objects 850 times their weight. One way the beetles use this extreme strength is to dig themselves into leaf litter and soil to escape danger. Their horns also help them to do this. Rhinoceros beetles can grow up to six inches (15 centimetres).

FAQs for Katyayani Beetle Lure (Dynastinae)
1. What is the Katyayani Beetle Lure?
Ans. The Katyayani Beetle Lure is a pheromone-based lure specifically designed to attract and trap beetles of the Dynastinae subfamily, such as rhinoceros beetles, which are harmful to crops.
2. How does the lure work?
Ans. The lure releases a synthetic pheromone that mimics the natural chemicals emitted by female beetles, attracting the males into the trap. This helps reduce the beetle population by disrupting their mating cycle.
3. What types of beetles does this lure target?
Ans. This lure is primarily aimed at beetles in the Dynastinae subfamily, such as rhinoceros beetles (Oryctes rhinoceros), which can cause significant damage to coconut palms and other crops.
4. What crops are most affected by Dynastinae beetles?
Ans. Dynastinae beetles, like the rhinoceros beetle, primarily affect coconut palms, oil palms, sugarcane, and banana crops, among others.
5. How should I use the Katyayani Beetle Lure?
Ans. Place the lure inside a suitable beetle trap and hang it near the affected plants or in the field. Position the trap at the height where beetles are most likely to fly, which is typically around 1-2 meters above the ground.
6. How long does each lure last?
Ans. The lure remains effective for about 4-6 weeks. After this period, it should be replaced to ensure continued trapping effectiveness.
