Black Vine Weevil: Life Cycle


Life Cycle of Black Vine Weevil (Moorhouse et al., 1992)
The black vine weevil usually has 1 generation per year, but in the greenhouse it can have two generations per year. They overwinter as larvae and resume feeding in the spring, which is when the heaviest damage can occur. In late May and June the larvae will pupate for about 10 days. The adults will emerge from June to July and will begin to lay eggs after feeding for 2-3 weeks. Eggs are laid every day on the ground where they will remain in leaf litter or at the base of plants. The newly hatched larvae will then feed until it is time to overwinter. A few adults may also overwinter and emerge in early spring.
