Weevil

Found worldwide in forests, agricultural fields, meadows, and occasionally inside homes near stored dry goods.

Strictly herbivorous, feeding on seeds, stems, roots, and leaves of various plants, including crops.

Features a distinctive elongated snout used for feeding and boring into plant tissue to lay eggs. Often plays dead when disturbed.

Many species are major agricultural and stored-product pests causing severe crop loss, while others act as beneficial biological control agents for invasive weeds.
