THE REAL WORLD

The real Pea weevil

Facts about the real animal.

A beetle in the seed-beetle group, whose young grow up eating the seeds of plants in the bean family.

Its body is black and covered all over with a mix of brown and white hairs.

It lays its eggs on small pods in the field, and the larvae grow inside the unripe beans. It does not lay eggs on dried beans.
