Weevils are one of many common insects found on bromeliad plants and flowers. Weevils are a member of the beetle family and are characterized by having the head prolonged forward as a rostrum (beak), especially during the adult stages of their life cycle. Weevils, just like other beetles, have four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Larvae and adults feed on plants and on materials of plant origin. Eggs and pupae, of course, do not feed.
Decorating indoors with bromeliads has become very popular among interiorscapers and interior landscape designers. One way to accent any home or office would be to mount certain species of bromeliads that have adapted well to pot and container culture.
Weevils are common insects to find on bromeliad plants and flowers (especially in southern states and neotropical climates). Currently, there are at least 25 species of weevils that are known to attack bromeliad plants. Below we have listed many of the weevil species known to be found on bromeliads.
Bromeliads, as with all plants, are susceptible to certain kinds of insects and bugs. The insects you encounter may be different than other bromeliad owners depending on your regional climate, location and type of bromeliad plant.
