There were dozens of pairs on the Siberian Angelica at the top of the Bloodgrass Dragon in China Valley. The damned weevils are wreaking havoc on Rohdeas and I just noticed they've eaten half of the Vernicia fordii. Still, I just couldn't bring myself to slaughter them mid-coitus. You know what though, I wouldn't mind using whatever the relevant ingredient is here and creating a weevil trap.
Weevils are serious pests of various plants; I associate them with their charcterist notched chomping on Rhododendrons, though they seem to enjoy a wide variety of leaves. There isn't currently any good way to control them, or at least there wasn't the last time I checked. They sure love the nectar of these Angelicas though.....there must be some way to use this weakness against them.
