Weevils are a type of
beetle noted for the long snouts with chewing mouth
parts. One subdivision of this group are the
cucurlios which have longer and more curved snouts
than other weevils.
Adults are
hard-bodied beetles with dark colored bodies. They
will play dead when disturbed. Weevils chew on a
wide variety of plants and may leave distinctive
C-shaped holes.
The larvae of weevils
are white, fleshy grubs that are legless. They may
be found inside fruit, seeds, buds or stems of
plants while others live in the soil.
