Fear No Weevil
Weevils: destroyers of crops… biocontrol agents…charismatic beauties? Mann Library Gallery hosts an exhibit of Kent Loeffler’s dazzling photographs, which will be featured in Cornell entomologist E. Richard Hoebeke’s forthcoming book, “An Illustrated Identification Guide to the Adventive (Non-Native) Weevils (Curculionoidea) of North America.” These extraordinarily detailed large-format digital images reveal the amazing diversity and, yes, beauty of the largest group of herbivorous beetles.
