The foot comprises a pair of adhesive hairy pads (lower centre) and a pair of hooked claws (centre right). The pads are used for walking on smooth surfaces,while the claws are used on surfaces that they can grip. This weevil is a pest that attacks woody and herbaceous plants,such as rhododendrons and strawberries. All the adults are female,and reproduce by parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction).
