"The Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus F. has been identified as an economically important pest of coconut palm (Coccos nucifera) and other palms more than a century back."
This is a quote from the website listed as 'source'.
I have also read articles about other insects which attack coconut palms in Belize, middle America.
I guess it depends on the geographical location of the plant which kinds of insects represent the greatest pest.
I did a Google Search to find the website listed as 'source', and if you need further information, I'd suggest you do the same:
