AN ADDITIONAL NOTE ON THE BEAN WEEVIL
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
In the note on the post-embryonic larvæ of the Pea and Bean Weevils, published in the August number of the Canadian Entomologist, (p. 185). I have stated that the eggs of the Bean Weevil “are primarily laid upon the bean pod in the field, but chiefly, if not entirely, upon those which are already matured and ripening.” This statement was based upon the finding of the eggs upon more mature bean pods in years gone by, and represents the current belief hitherto held. A more careful examination of the eggs thus found the present season, after the note above referred to had been sent to the editor, showed that they did not entirely agree with the eggs of the Bean Weevil as laid on stored beans, the difference being sufficient to justify a doubt as to the former being those of the ordinary Bean Weevil, and to cause me to look into the matter more fully, which I have done in my own garden the past summer.
