Orange weevil larva (tentative identification)

On or within plant foliage, stems, roots, seeds, or soil, depending on species. The pictured larva is on a cultivated broadleaf plant.

Larvae usually feed internally on roots, stems, seeds, or plant tissue; adults may chew leaves, buds, or fruits. Diet is species-specific.

Typically slow-moving, soft-bodied, and legless or nearly legless; many larvae hide in plant tissue or soil and pupate before emerging as adults.

Some weevils are serious agricultural pests, damaging roots, foliage, seeds, or stored crops. Others contribute to decomposition or have value in biological control; a definitive species identification requires a clearer image and location.
