Curculio Viminalis
''Curculio'' is a genus of weevils belonging the family Curculionidae and subfamily Curculioninae. Members of the genus are commonly referred to as acorn weevils or nut weevils as they infest the seeds of trees such as oaks and hickories. The adult female weevil bores a tiny hole in the immature nut to lay her eggs, which then hatch into legless grubs. In autumn, the grubs bore holes through the shells from the inside to emerge into the soil where they may live for a year or two before maturing into adults. Species Species of ''Curculio'' include: See also * ''Curculigo ''Curculigo'' is a flowering plant genus in the family Hypoxidaceae, first described in 1788.

Curculio Occidentis
''Curculio occidentis'', the filbert weevil, is a species of weevil in the genus ''Curculio''. The weevils are considered a Pest (organism), pest for many species of oak tree due to the damage they cause to acorns. University of California. Distribution ''Curculio occidentis'' is native to the western side of North America. Its range includes British Columbia in Canada, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah in the United States, and Mexico.Ecology The female ''Curculio occidentis'' lays small batches of two to four eggs in a developing acorn. The resulting larvae feed on the kernel and when fully developed, tunnel out of the nut, fall to the ground and dig ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Curculio Elephas
''Curculio elephas'' is a species of beetle in the family Curculionidae, the true weevils. It is known commonly as the chestnut weevil. It is a serious pest of chestnut (''Castanea sativa'') in Europe.Paparatti, B. & Speranza, S. (1999)Biological control of chestnut weevil (''Curculio elephas'' Gyll.; Coleoptera, Curculionidae) with the entomopathogens fungus ''Beauveria bassiana'' (Balsamo) Vuill.(Deuteromycotina, Hyphomycetes). ''In'': II International Symposium on Chestnut 1998. pp. 459-466. ''Curculio elephas'' are similar to '' Curculio sayi'' and '' Curculio caryatrypes'' in the United States. Development Adults feed on chestnut foliage until nut kernels enter the dough stage in mid to late August. Although they can lay eggs any time after kernel filling, most eggs are laid after the bur begins to open. The adult female weevil drills a hole in a chestnut fruit and deposits one egg inside. The eggs are laid into the cupules or around the peduncle joints. Eggs hatch in fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Curculio Nucum
''Curculio nucum'', the nut weevil, is a medium-sized beetle, with an especially elongated snout, characteristic of the Curculionini tribe of the weevil family ( Curculionidae). Its larvae develop in hazel nuts ''Corylus avellana'', being a serious pest in hazelnut orchards. It occurs in most of Europe, from south Sweden, Finland and Great Britain to the Mediterranean. Description This weevil ranges from 6 to 8.5 mm. The female's snout is as long as the rest of the body, with a reddish end. The male snout is about 1/3 shorter. The body cover is usually light brown, similar to the colour of mature hazelnuts. This species is often confused with another commonly occurring weevil of the same genera – the gland weevil, ''Curculio glandium'', which lives on oaks. Despite overall similarity, the weevils differ in some morphological details. ''Curculio nucum'' has broader segments of flagellum and the segments are covered with semi-erect hairs which in ''C. glandium'' are adpre ...
