Florida bromeliad weevil - Metamasius mosieri Barber common name: Florida bromeliad weevil (suggested common name) Barber (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Barber is native to Cuba and the Dominican Republic and likely to southern Florida. Until recently, it was rarely collected in Florida (most likely because until recently no specific effort was made to find it). It has been reported from Collier (Corkscrew Swamp, Rookery Bay, Collier-Seminole State Park, Fakahatchee Strand), Glades (Fisheating Creek), Hendry (LaBelle, Big Cypress Seminole Reservation) Sarasota (Laurel), Lee, Dade, St. Lucie and Osceola Counties. The Florida bromeliad weevil is an occasional and minor pest on ornamental bromeliads and occurs at very low population densities in its natural habitat. It should not be confused with the Mexican bromeliad weevil,
