Life history

The adult weevil is about 1/8 of an inch with copper back and white stripes. They are generalists and eat the pollen of their host plants. Female A. signatus lay their eggs on flower buds and then sever the bud from the plant. This habit has given rise to another common name for the species, 'Clipper'. Each female can lay up to 75 eggs per season.[1]

gollark: What?
gollark: Also, I've been investigating web security thingies because I'm programming a somewhat security-sensitive application and it turns out this is all really hard due to bizarre decisions about cross-origin stuff?
