pepper weevil - Anthonomus eugenii Cano Cano (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Cano, is the most important insect pest of pepper in the southern United States. The origin of the pepper weevil likely is Mexico, though it has spread throughout most of Central America and the Caribbean, and to the southern USA. Pepper weevil was first found in the United States in Texas, in 1904, reaching California in 1923 and Florida in 1935. It is now found across the southernmost United States from Florida to California. Pepper weevil populations persist only where food plants are available throughout the year, largely limiting its economic pest status to the southernmost state in the USA. Because transplants are shipped northward each spring, however, pepper weevil sometimes occurs in more northern locations. Pepper weevil was first observed in Hawaii in 1933 and in Puerto Rico in 1982.
