These native beetles ate grass roots, bored into the roots of sugar cane crops and caused the plants to die and go brown. Using poison controls had been unsuccessful, so it was hoped cane toads would prove to be an effective biological control on the beetles.
When were cane toads introduced to Australia and why?
Ironically they were introduced to destroy a cane-beetle plague. But the beetles are living in cane, where the toads cannot reach them.
