Tule Pea Weevil

Found in agricultural fields, meadows, and areas with legumes like sweetclover, alfalfa, and peas.

Herbivorous; adults feed on the leaves and stems of legumes, while larvae feed on the roots and nitrogen-fixing nodules.

Adults are most active in the spring and fall; they often feed at night or in the early morning and may play dead when disturbed.

Primarily an agricultural pest that can damage legume crops; they pose no direct risk to humans or pets but are an important food source for birds and spiders.
