Souvlaki sticks. Apparently they're a delicacy in some places:

Not sure they're too easy to kill off otherwise: control and prevention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhynchophorus_ferrugineus#Control).

If you fancy some grub: culinary uses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhynchophorus_ferrugineus#Culinary_uses).
