Sam and Case are back with a new episode about a very specific beetle - Polyphagous shot-hole borer; A chewing "pest" species of beetle that has been very selfishly depriving Casey of sleep lately.
This inconspicuous little insect is causing all sorts of havoc around Perth at the moment, burrowing into every species of tree it can get it chewing mouthparts into, including heritage trees around the metro.
Have a listen to this one to familiarise yourself with this new and unwelcome arrival that has already caused 8+ 100 year old trees to be removed by the council around Lake Claremont recently.
