The warm weather and the sun shine brings back one of the most harmful plagues, the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus). They are not good flyers and their flying makes a faint noise so you may have time to catch them before they have laid their eggs in the defenceless date's stem. The plague was first reported in Spain in1994, and already in 2005 it was attacking Elche's Palm tree forest, the patrimony of humanity.
