Bruchinae, False Indigo seed, emergent hole - Acanthoscelides submuticus

Bruchinae, False Indigo seed, emergent hole - Acanthoscelides submuticus
Plymouth Rock, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
October 6, 2018
September 28, 2018: collected seeds of False Indigo, Amorpha fruticosa, in a planted prairie.
September 29, 2018: not much evidence of the beetles, yet, but soon there would be many emergent holes. Pretty amazing how round the holes and "lids" were
... ... ...chewing the exit hole: video
October (early), 2018: adult beetles continued to emerge, quite a few, and most were released where they were collected

Multiple adults from this location were sent to G. Keeney who dissected and determined ID. (Thank you very much!)
