White-fringed weevil
White-fringed weevils are an informal species group within a much larger genus Naupactus and their native range is southern South America.
Invasive here in Australia, now pests of agricultural crops.
Adults feed on the foliage of hundreds of plant species. Larvae feed on roots and their damage is more serious, especially on crops or young pines in plantations and nurseries.
