Black Vine Weevil

Adult black vine weevils are small (around a half-inch long) beetles with a round, textured body. They have a distinctive broad snout on their head. They are black, blackish-brown, or dark gray in color. They have six legs that are knobbed on the end and appear almost twisted. They also have two elbowed antennae that are also knobbly on the end. These insects do not fly because their wing covers are fused together.

 

While they do not fly, they are active walkers and easily mistakenly transported on plants, vehicles or even clothing.

 

The grubs and pupae are about the same size as the adults, but are white and legless.
