Amphicerus bicaudatus, known generally as the apple twig borer or grape cane borer, is a species of horned powder-post beetle in the family Bostrichidae.[1][2]

Population dynamics

Allen et al., 1991 finds some periodicity and some chaos in its population dynamics while Allen et al., 1993 finds only periodicity and quasiperiodicity.[3] Both examine the interaction of beetle, insecticide, cane removal, and the grapevine host.[3] The 1991 model shows some chaotic solutions while 1993 never does.[3]
