Bugs Identified (I think) - Weevil

[Jim S]

Small, beetle-like bugs, medium speed crawling, no flying (that I've noticed). Based on their roundish, beetle-like body and long frontal antennae, I think that they belong to the weevil family. I don’t think that they’ve done much damage, the chewed-up edge of the leaf is about a year old. Three days ago was the first time I noticed actual bugs – I thought the leaf damage may have been from a snail that died.


About the pics. #1 is leaf damage; #2 are small holes that look like tiny pieces of soil/dirt, however, they are holes made by adults to deposit larvae; #3, general pic of the bugs; #4 as good as I could get of a close up.
About eliminating the bugs… I was surprised at Home Depot to find a variety of pre-mixed spray insecticide, including neem oil, “organic” insecticides, and pre-diluted spray-on Sevin.


Any thoughts regarding if these bugs are weevils or something else would be appreciated.

Sevin should do the trick if the others do not. We would use that on our fruit trees when Malathion failed (Japanese Beetles). The only thing it doesn't kill are spidermites. Just be careful when using it. There has been conflicting information on its safety and it should be used outside but not be used near streams, lakes, etc.

You'd need even closer photos. Weevils have long, piercing proboscidea.

Have you tried putting a pic through the Insect Identifier app on your phone? (or another similar app)

I matched my pic with what I could find online, came up with the weevil family - see pic. Anyway, the bugs are no more...
