Unknown weevil Costa Rica
July 17, 2009
Hi WTB!!
I have a photo of a weevil as my screensaver that looks a lot like the glittery weevil you are having trouble identifying. I took the photo from one of your reader’s website. You can view more photos of the weevil there. Father Sanchez has it listed as Polydrusus and he is located in Puerto Rico. http://www.kingsnake.com/westindian/
Keep up the great work!

Green Immigrant Leaf Weevil

Hi Andrea,
How nice to hear from you again.  We have also had email exchanges with Father Sanchez.  We love his website.  We are linking to BugGuide’s page on the Green Immigrant Leaf Weevil, a European species that has naturalized in North America.  Though we are inclined to agree that this weevil and our Costa Rican Weevil look the same, we would really like to get an expert opinion on that.  Thanks so much for providing this information.
