Technical Abstract: The weevil subfamily Baridinae is comprised of several economically important species that cause damage to the roots and fruits of plants. In the early 1990's, a baradine weevil was observed feeding on and occasionally killing amaryllis (Hippeastrum Herb) plants in Florida. A survey was conducted to document and increase grower awareness of this pest. Laboratory research was initiated to gather information on its basic biology including adult longevity, oviposition and fecundity.
