Introduction
Adult white pine weevils are dark brown with lighter flecks and are the most destructive insects attacking white pine. Their larvae hatch from eggs laid in the terminal leader of the host tree, tunneling and feeding towards the base of the leader which is eventually killed. They also attack Sitka Spruce, Engelmann Spruce and White Spruce, and will attack other native and non-native species of pines and spruces.
