It bores the wood of Chukrasia velutina and Lagerstroemia speciosa. The life-cycle is annual. Adults emerge in June.
Distribution
This beetle is present in Thailand, Malaysia, western Indonesia and Philippines.
gollark: Generally they don't allow redistribution of jars and stuff.
gollark: Just zipping up the mod folder makes updates hard and might cause legal issues.
gollark: Anyway, I'm not sure about easy or hard, but one thing I would like is a way to incenticize spreading out and having players specialize in some things/encouraging trading.

gollark: Eeeeh no.
