Root Weevil

Root weevils feed on the roots and leaves of berry and ornamental plants such as the rhododendron. They can cause extensive damage to host plants.

Adults are 1/4" to 1/2" long beetles with long, protruding noses and pear-shaped bodies with gray, black, or brown coloring. They do not fly, but will drop to the ground when disturbed. Most overwinter as full grown larvae, and most adults emerge in June. All root weevils are egg-laying females, males are not known to exist.
