Larva.—^Legless, white to flesh colored, usually curved; head brown, body thickest at the middle; % inch long and lives in the soil and at- tacks roots of Cyclamen, Adiantum and Gloxinia. Feytaud, of France, reports parthenogenetic reproduction of this insect, and considers it probable that males appear sporadically. The females deposit more than 150 eggs, and reproduction is very rapid. Control.—The adults may be caught at night by shaking them from infested plants; the grubs in the soil are not readily controlled. Peach Leaf Weevil {Anametis granulatus Say).—This weevil is about i<4 inch long, dark brown, oval, robust, densely covered with greyish scales. It sometimes damages peach, pear and apple trees by eating at night the buds and bark. Widely distributed. CALANDRID^ (GRAIN WEEVILS) Granary Weevil (Calandra granaria Linn.).—Adult. A snout- weevil, ig inch long, convex, brown; thorax punctate; wing-covers. Fig. 218.—Grain and rice weevils: a, adult of grain beetle (Calandra granaria); b, larva; c, pupa; d, adult of rice weevil (C. oryzce). (After Chittenden.) ridged lengthwise.
