when was the last time you saw a weevil this big

The largest weevil in North America, the palmetto weevil (Rhyncophorus cruentatus) lays eggs in the crowns of palms, where the grubs feed and often kill their host in the process.

In Florida it’s considered a major pest due to its habit of destroying ornamental palm trees, but native palmettos and sabal palms (the weevils’ natural hosts) are rarely harmed unless they’re already stressed or damaged. It’s mostly date palms and other exotic species planted along city streets that can’t take the heat and need to be drenched with insecticide to ensure survival.

@lavendertownsghost submitted: Hi there, this is a bit of a long shot. I don’t need and ID on the bug itself (I’m pretty sure it’s a palmetto weevil / Rhynchophorus cruentatus) but I was wondering if you could identify the pinkish lumps on its mouth area. there are a few between its head and body joint, and some on its butt area. From what i could tell from my own research, Palmetto Weevils don’t carry their eggs like that, so I’m assuming its a parasite of some sort. area is southeast Florida.

Yes, it’s a palmetto weevil. They’re phoretic mites, so they don’t feed on the beetle itself, but beetles with heavy mite loads tend to have shorter lifespans.

Saw something reddish brown under the door jamb and went to investigate, "Is that a leaf, or a wood roach? I hope it's a wood roach!" It was even better than that, our largest native weevil. Palmetto weevil. Colonels Island, Georgia.
