Typically, when does the adult Black vine weevil appear?

The adult Black vine weevil typically emerges in June and July. This timing is consistent with the life cycle of the species, which involves overwintering as larvae or pupae and transitioning into the adult stage during the warmer months of late spring to early summer. This period is crucial for the adult’s mating and subsequent egg-laying activities, as conditions are favorable for their survival and the development of their offspring. Knowing the emergence timing is important for pest management strategies, allowing applicators to effectively schedule monitoring and control measures, targeting the adults when they are most active and likely to cause damage to ornamental plants. Understanding this life cycle and monitoring adult emergence is essential for maintaining healthy turf and ornamental environments.
