What is a "pea weevil"?

A pea weevil is a type of beetle that specifically targets peas and other legume crops. It lays its eggs on pea pods, and the larvae feed on the seeds, causing damage and reducing crop yields. The adult pea weevil is small and dark-colored, with a distinctive snout. It is considered a pest in agricultural settings, as it can significantly impact pea production. Proper pest management practices are essential to control and prevent the infestation of pea weevils in crops.
