Why my Areca palm leaves getting holes

Hi All,

Why are my Areca Palm leaves getting holes?

Is this because of excess water, as here now is Monsoon season and it's raining a lot, the tree is planted in soil, so it can't be moved.

Please help me!

It looks to me like a leaf eating insect like a grasshopper or something. Palm looks healthy but it has become food for something. Harry

    There are a number of insects that cause that type of damage. One group is a number of different weevils. Here is an article on one from Sri Lanka that has become common in Florida. https://entnemdept.ufl.edu/Creatures/orn/sri_lankan_weevil.htm Their damage is just cosmetic unless the infestation is really severe.
