Anthonomus rubi

Anthonomus rubi, the strawberry blossom weevil, is a weevil that feeds on plants of the family Rosaceae and is an important pest of strawberry(Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne) and raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.). This insect is a particularly problematic pest of strawberry in Europe, in some cases responsible for up to 80% loss of the berry crop.[1] Adults feed on strawberry foliage, and females lay eggs inside unopened flower buds (one egg per bud) before partially or totally severing the stalk;[2] larvae develop inside the severed buds, feeding on the wilting tissue.
