—reveals that females, usually from May to July, deposit eggs in floral buds that will bloom no earlier than 2 weeks. The first instar larva hatches after 34 days. By the time the bud has blossomed and before it falls off, all larvae migrate below the ovary and when carpels are fully developed, each larva enters into a seed and consume the entire contents of the seed chamber from within. The last instar larva bores a hole on the broadest side of the seed to permit the adult to exit. Escape hole is filled in with a secretion produced by the larva to protect pupa and developing weevil. Larval and pupal developments respectively requires 46 and 23 weeks depending on weather conditions. The adult emerges from the dry seed chamber through the escape hole after several hours. Wintering occurs under dead leaves fallen on the ground or in the ground near stems. Since mating is frequent throughout spring and summer and since from egg deposition to emergence of adult it takes 710 weeks, it is possible to observe the coexistence of different generations per year.
