Definition von boll weevil im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

beetle measuring an average length of six millimeters (¼ inch), which feeds on cotton buds and flowers, native to Central America

grayish weevil that lays its eggs in cotton bolls destroying the cotton

an insect that eats and destroys cotton plants. Small beetle (Anthonomus grandis) found almost everywhere cotton is cultivated. It is the most serious cotton pest in North America. Adults vary in size according to how much food they received as larvae, but they average about 0.25 in. (6 mm) long, including the long, curved snout. In the spring adults deposit eggs in cotton buds or fruit. After hatching, the larvae live within the cotton boll, destroying the seeds and surrounding fibres. Because the larvae and pupae remain inside the cotton bolls, they cannot be killed with insecticides. The boll weevil destroys an estimated three to five million bales of cotton annually
