CURCULIONIDAE snout beetles<br />
The Curculionidae is one of the largest family of beetles in Canada, with<br />
approximatively 900 reported species. Members of this family are all plant feeders.<br />
The adults of most species feed on pollen, fruit, flowers, leaves, and fungi.<br />
The larvae of many species feed inside the plants, and a few feed outside on the<br />
leaves; some are leafminers.<br />
Most curculionids of economic importance in Canada attack growing crops<br />
or trees and shrubs. Only one species is associated with stored products; two<br />
others, however, are occasionally found on imported grain. These three species<br />
are among the most serious pests of stored grain.<br />
