Numerous species
Pest description and damage Identification is important as root weevil species differ in susceptibility to pesticides. Adult weevils are dark colored, nocturnal beetles from 0.2 to 0.25 inch in length, with a snout (rostrum) and elbowed antennae. Look for ragged notches on the edges of leaves, or flower petals. Larvae are C-shaped, legless, and white, sometimes reddish, with tan heads, up to 0.5 inch in size. Larvae rarely cause significant root girdling damage in established landscapes.
