Common Name: Clover Leaf Weevil
Order: Coleoptera Family: Curculionidae Pest Status: Clover leaf weevils can damage alfalfa in much the same way as alfalfa weevil. Appearance: Adults are brown with yellow scales, giving them a mottled appearance. They are up to four times larger than alfalfa weevils and lack any distinctive stripe down the back. Life Cycle: Females lay their eggs in stems or stalks of host plants in late summer/early fall. The larvae hatch in the fall and spend the winter in the soil. Where to Collect: Clover leaf weevils can be found in the crowns of plants or on host plant leaves. |
