I have a few Java Plum / Jambul trees, and I've noticed one particular black beetle like pest that seems to hang out only on these trees. They are small, maybe a cm long, with a tiny elephant snout looking nose. I'm unsure of the name and a search for java plum pests and all related searches comes up with nothing. Has anyone encountered these guys, and knows what they are? I figured the first step towards getting rid of them would be to know what I'm dealing with. I'll post a picture soon, but in the meantime, does anyone know off hand what they could be?
