What is a coffee bean like bug?

It sounds like you're describing a coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei). This tiny beetle is a major pest of coffee plants, and it's known for infesting the coffee berries.

Here's a breakdown of why it might be called a "coffee bean like bug":

* Appearance: The coffee berry borer itself is small, about 2mm long, and looks like a tiny black or brown beetle.

* Habitat: It lives inside the coffee berries, where it lays eggs and feeds on the developing coffee beans.

* Damage: The borer's larvae tunnel through the coffee beans, creating holes and damaging the bean's quality. This can make the bean unusable for brewing, reducing coffee yield and causing significant economic losses.

So, while the coffee berry borer isn't literally a coffee bean, it's strongly associated with them due to its lifestyle and the damage it causes.

If you're seeing these bugs, it's likely you have a coffee berry borer infestation. You can learn more about managing and controlling them online or consult a local agricultural expert.
