@ajay Hi ajay, hate to disappoint you but I think exotic means it is not native but not uncommon in this case.

@arjay and I presumed that sometimes this is not a good thing. Not sure about this beetle though :-)

As a general principle I assume anything exotic isn't necessarily good. However none of my vegetables or fruit are native and they are certainly useful. And we keep them under control. There are a whole bunch of plants and some animals that I happily zap because they are not useful or needed.
