On August 10, 2021, a male weevil was captured for the first time since its eradication in 2012, and supplementary traps were immediately deployed. Host plant survey was conducted around the monitoring trap where the weevil was caught to detect the location of reoccurrence. The weevils were repeatedly caught by traps deployed in the sweet potato field; nevertheless, host plant surveys did not detect weevils on sweet potato or blue morning glory (I. indica). To control the pest, 3165 kg of sweet potato was removed from the field, and the sterile insect technique (SIT) was applied (i.e., approximately 3,000,000 sterile weevils were released in the control area within a 0.5 km radius from the traps of detection). As no weevils were detected within the traps or on the surveyed host plants for 197 days since the last day a weevil was captured by a trap, which is equivalent to two generations of C. formicarius, the reinvading weevils were deemed to have been re-eradicated from Kume Island. Certain factors of the successful control are discussed in terms of monitoring and tactical control effectiveness. The efficiency of the re-eradication program, including the SIT, is also discussed in the context of previous studies.

Females were not attracted to their host-plant odors. The Ulmus population showed no significant differences in odor, feeding, or oviposition preferences. Both sexes of the Cercidiphyllum population had low feeding preferences for Ulmus, but showed no innate preference for the host plants. The Salix population was not attracted to Salix odor among those of the four host plants, but they fed more on Salix branches and showed oviposition preferences for Salix.

Females of the Salix population laid more eggs on Salix, even though larvae from the Salix population could grow on the diet containing Cercidiphyllum.

Adults reared on once-frozen pupae had slightly shorter forewings than those from P. hilaris, but other developmental traits were comparable.

First, we placed glass slides at the hive entrance, extracted DNA from the spots mounted on the glass slides, and amplified the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 using PCR. Sequencing of the cloned PCR products revealed the presence of both plant and fungal DNA. Second, we performed an amplicon analysis targeting ITS2 of plants and fungi using next-generation sequencing. A diverse array of fungi was detected; however, unexpectedly, no plant DNA was detected. The reason for this remains unclear; however, amplicon analysis appears to be biased toward the detection of fungi. Therefore, in the third experiment, we extracted DNA from individual spots on glass slides, amplified ITS1, and directly sequenced the PCR products. This experiment allowed us to quantify the utilization of plants and fungi based on the number of spots containing each type of material.
