Red Palm Weevil
Rhynchophorus ferrugineus
Adult red palm weevils inhabit palms in warm regions, flying between suitable host trees. They feed on palm tissues and use their long snouts to enter soft plant material for feeding and egg-laying. Adults can locate and infest new palms by flight, making them effective dispersers.
