The article concerned surveys done on Choiseul, Solomon Islands, for Cocoa pod borer, Conopomorpha cramerella. The survey group were expect to present their findings towardfs the end o fhte first week of May.

There was a lot of interest about whether or not it had reached Solomon Islands.It was thought unlikely at this time.
