Cherry trees in Israeli orchards are susceptible to attacks by the Duke
borer Cerambyx dux. In these settings, the beetle follows a typical two-
year life cycle, with larval development lasting 14–15 months. The pupa and
dormant adult stages span 7–8 months, occurring between October and
April. The key window for controlling the beetle is during the reproductive
activity of the adults, egg-laying, egg presence, and young larvae, which
occurs between May and June. This period largely overlaps with fruit
development and harvesting in cherry orchards, making it challenging
to manage the Duke borer using synthetic insecticides. This paper
emphasizes the comparison between visual monitoring of beetle activity
and the use of seismic sensors.
