Despite its gorgeous colors and comical face, Rhynchites auratus is not well loved by orchard owners and gardeners. Female beetles use their long snouts to bore holes into young stone fruits in the rose family, such as cherries, plums, and apricots. An egg is laid in each hole. After hatching, the larvae consume the fruit for several weeks. Each female can lay over a hundred eggs, and large populations can cause much damage.
Featuring festive glitter, soft enamel, smooth epoxy, and double posts for extra security, this lapel pin badge comes on a species identification card packed with facts and makes an outstanding statement on a holiday sweater or any outfit that needs a big pop of color. Originally from The Bug Box.
