Beetles3
Until 2016, flax weevils (large flightless protected beetles) were known from a single island in Fiordland. (tepapa.govt.nz)
There are a few different types of pantry pests that might be lurking in your cabinets, but the most common ones are moths and small beetles, including weevils the cereal eaters. (jopestkil.com)
They are relatively primitive, flightless, predatory black tiger beetles of enormous size. (carnegiemnh.org)
Curculionidae1
Hadramphus (synonym: Karocolens), commonly known as knobbled weevils, is a genus of flightless molytine weevils from the family Curculionidae. (wikipedia.org)
Species12
They get a lot of bad press as pests of crops and stored food, but finding two rare weevil species was one of the highlights of a recent Te Papa expedition to Dusky Sound in Fiordland. (tepapa.govt.nz)
Combining species and population-genetic approaches, the research team demonstrated that weevils colonized the Antarctic islands from Africa at least 50 million years ago and repeatedly dispersed among islands - despite being flightless - likely using seabirds to travel long distances over open ocean, and against prevailing ocean currents. (memphis.edu)
As the climate cooled over the last ~20 million years, weevil diversification accelerated, resulting in an unusual diversity of living weevil species for such an inhospitable region - more than 30 species of Ectemnorhinini are known from the Antarctic. (memphis.edu)
While weevils are typically plant-feeding, some species of Ectemnorhinini evolved the ability to feed on "lower" (non-seed bearing) plants, which dominate the polar habitats that now prevail in the region. (memphis.edu)
One unusual weevil species lives only in the marine littoral zone and is currently undergoing further speciation. (memphis.edu)
Yet other species retained the more common weevil habit of feeding on flowering plants (angiosperms). (memphis.edu)
Most species possess wings, although the level of development and thus flight ability varies widely, including within a single species, and some are flightless with fused elytra. (quotemebest.com)
Many species are flightless, slow-developing, and have a slow reproductive rate with a small number of offspring. (parliamentobserver.com)
A significant species that was highlighted in the report was the Canterbury knobbled weevil, (Hadramphus tuberculatus). (parliamentobserver.com)
The weevil species was thought to be extinct in the late 1990s, after it had not been seen for decades. (parliamentobserver.com)
The isolation of the island of Madagascar has allowed unique species such as the giraffe weevil to evolve. (science-a2z.com)
Prior to settlement the land was largely forested, and as a result of its long biogeographical isolation, New Zealand had many endemic species, including numbers of flightless birds. (sagepub.com)
Elytra1
They are flightless, since the elytra are fused, but can run quickly. (espacepourlavie.ca)

Diversification2
However, research published by an international team of researchers in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, U.S.A. , shows that these same Earth system processes are key drivers in diversification of one of the world's most geographically-isolated groups of insects - Ectemnorhinini weevils. (memphis.edu)
McKenna and Shin helped reconstruct the weevil family tree and timing and patterns of weevil diversification using large-scale DNA data, while Adams contributed his expertise in data analysis to resolving the question of where Ectemnorhini originated from. (memphis.edu)
Insects5
According to McKenna "This work involved the most comprehensive analyses of DNA data to uncover the geographic and evolutionary origins of a group of Antarctic insects and is notable for having illuminated the remarkable antiquity of Antarctic weevil biodiversity, its geographic origins, and its apparent resilience to climate cooling over millennia. (memphis.edu)
The weevil or beetle-like insects may be black or black and red with white spots. (a-z-animals.com)
If they are blown out by the wind, the still-flightless insects march up the trunks of trees to return to the upper branches. (a-z-animals.com)
Due to the carnivorous nature of your spider, a balanced diet of insects is recommended, including 1-2 live crickets per week (more if needed), or flightless fruit flies for juvenile spiders, AKA "slings. (tarantulaforum.com)
CMBS is easily spread when infested plants are brought into a new area, and once it is established in an area the flightless crawlers can quickly spread to nearby trees by hitching rides on birds, large insects like cicadas, lawn equipment and wind. (msstate.edu)
Habitats1
Certaines espèces végétales, telles que l'ortie Urtica dioica L., présentes à proximité des habitats agricoles, contiennent de grandes quantités d' H. axyridis et peuvent donc servir de réserve de prédateurs avant les invasions de pucerons en grandes cultures. (ac.be)
Black1
The Black Vine Weevil gets a lot of bad press - which is well deserved. (icl-growingsolutions.com)
Bird3
Sailors constrained to live for months on weevil-infested biscuit and rotten meat encountered on the previously predator-less island a giant, flightless bird with so little insight into human iniquity that it would wait to allow itself to be clubbed to death. (derek-turner.com)
the flightless resident bird remained in the estuary. (blogspot.com)
The dodo, too, was trapped by geography, confined to Mauritius, a hitherto remote island that unluckily became a convenient replenishment station for passing mariners after the first Dutch sailors landed in 1598, blown off course en route to the East Indies. (derek-turner.com)
Long1
Due to its long neck, it is called a giraffe-necked weevil. (science-a2z.com)
Snout1
Historical biogeography of the hyperdiverse hidden snout weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Cryptorhynchinae). (smnk.de)
Parrot1
Then watch this video about the Kakapo: The world's only flightless parrot and Why Dogs Have Floppy Ears, an animated tale . (thekidshouldseethis.com)
Fauna1
This small and flightless weevil is very distinctive among our fauna due to the elongate compact form and the large prothorax. (ukbeetles.co.uk)
Small1
Though weevils can be a problem, other small bugs occasionally found in the bathroom might be confused with them. (whatsthatbug.com)
Grain1
the weevils may be hard to detect as when disturbed they pull in their appendages and play dead, and once found the entire grain sample is usually destroyed. (ukbeetles.co.uk)
Bringing food1
Accidentally bringing food items, like snacks, into the bathroom could also attract weevils. (whatsthatbug.com)
Occasionally1
Occasionally, they even come to the aid of our flightless friends, because - well - dodos have a certain reputation for daffiness, after all, and Rocky and his pals are very, very daft indeed. (toonhound.com)
Places1
Weevils are attracted to places with easy access to food sources. (whatsthatbug.com)
