Life Cycle of Leaf-rolling weevil
Egg The embryonic stage for leaf-rolling weevil begins with the egg, which is usually round or oval. It's often laid in concealed locations and possesses a protective casing. The size is minute and the coloration often camouflaged.
Larva As larvae, leaf-rolling weevil exhibit segmented bodies with a distinct head and chewing mouthparts. Without wings, they are primarily focused on feeding and growth. They undergo successive molts, increasing in size with each stage.
Pupal During pupation, leaf-rolling weevil is encased in a pupal chamber, experiencing significant transformation. The pupa remains immobile, with its tissues reorganizing. Color and shape may vary between species.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult leaf-rolling weevil displays hardened exoskeleton and functional wings. Distinct sexual dimorphism may be present. Adults are mobile, seeking mates and some may not feed at all.

Habitat Preferences of Leaf-rolling weevil Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of leaf-rolling weevil are typically deposited on the host plants, such as oak leaves which they roll or fold for protection. The larvae, after hatching, remain within the confines of these rolls, feeding on the plant material. Seeking leaf-rolling weevil larvae requires searching these rolled leaves. Pupation usually happens within the same leaf roll or nearby plant debris on the ground. To find the pupae, one would inspect leaf rolls and sift through the litter at the base of host trees. The adult leaf-rolling weevil is often found on or near their host plants, so looking on the foliage and branches can lead to sightings of these beetles in their final stage of growth.
