Life Cycle of Redbud seed weevil
Egg The egg stage of the redbud seed weevil is characterized by minute, typically oval or cylindrical forms, often laid in clusters. These eggs are static and represent the beginning of the redbud seed weevil's life cycle.
Larva During the larval stage, the redbud seed weevil experiences significant growth. It has a worm-like appearance with distinct segmentation, lacking wings and adult structures. The larva focuses on feeding and rapidly increasing in size.
Pupal The pupa of the redbud seed weevil is a transitional stage encased in a cocoon or chrysalis. It is inactive and externally undergoes significant transformation where adult features are formed internally.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult redbud seed weevil's development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.
