Default Nocturnal Chewer: Mottled Gray Beetle/Weevil



Anyone recognize these? Length is about 5/16 to 3/8 of an inch. They've been caught only at night.

Location of the outdoor grow is north Texas, zone 7B-8A.

That would be a weevil you would have to look up what weevils are in north Texas.

They look like weevils to me, too. Nasty destructive buggers!

Default Vegetable Weevil

The specimens seem to match up with Listroderes costirostris obliquus, the vegetable weevil.
