The beetles is native to south-east Asia but is now widely distributed. It breeds in the branches of various trees (e.g. coffee or cacao), resulting in death of the twigs. Only the females attack trees and the males are flightless. The life cycle lasts around one months. The adult female is around 1½-2 mm long and shiny black. The males are smaller and light brown.
