Insects of Cedar Creek

Order COLEOPTERA

Family BRUCHIDAE

(Seed Weevils)

(Table of Species)

Bean Weevils (134 NA spp) have been infrequently collected with sweeping. Acanthoscelides sp. has been taken from several fields. I suspect it feeds on the seeds of vetch (Vicia villosa). Possibly different species has been collected from lupine (Lupinus perennis) and purple prairie clover (Petalostemon purpureum).
