âThe paucity of humility shown by the Government in the face of such antipathy is stomach-churning.â âLet me start with an apology for the paucity of blogging lately.â âThere's still a paucity of fresh produce in the shops, very little more than a few tired cabbages and exhausted apples to be found.â
A common name for an insect that infests cotton plants is the boll weevil. The adult boll weevils are reddish-brown, gray, or almost black in color and are normally less than 0.24 inches long.
The primary food source for the boll weevil is the cotton plant. In early spring, boll weevils puncture the cotton buds and bolls in order to lay their eggs in them. It takes approximately 3 - 5 days for the eggs to hatch into larvae. Boll weevils live approximately 3 weeks, so many generations can breed in one season.
