Jalapeno stowaway - Anthonomus eugenii
Copyright © 2012 Tom Shermer

Jalapeno stowaway - Anthonomus eugenii
Vancouver area, British Columbia, Canada
January 5, 2012
Size: 2mm
My girlfriend found this little weevil inside a jalapeno pepper she brought home. The jalapeno was from Mexico, so it might not be a northern species.
It looks like a pear-shaped weevil (Apioninae (1)) to me, but unlike any species I found in the guide.
