Strange Beetle Threatens Southern Crops in Invasion
Alabama and Florida agricultural departments in cooperation with the federal entomology bureau mount a fight against a new white fringed beetle known as the Argentine weevil. First spotted in Florida in 1938, the insect spreads rapidly through southern Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and northern Florida, destroying crops from potatoes to onions with no known male beetles. A barrier system and field inspections are used to trap and exterminate beetles as authorities warn farmers to report suspicious insects. The pest, about half an inch long, cannot fly and reproduces quickly, with each beetle laying on average 790 eggs per season.
