Acalolepta aesthetica is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Arthur Sidney Olliff in 1890. It is known from Australia. It has recently been documented as an invasive pest in Hawaii, attacking candlenut, various citrus trees, cycads, and cacao, despite the fact that it is not known to attack the same or similar species in its native Queensland, Australia.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acalolepta aesthetica sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 208th most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, August and November

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acalolepta aesthetica is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (18 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
