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 boll weevil is credited with the destruction of many an acre of cotton. The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman), is not native to the United States. It was first introduced into the US near Brownsville, Texas, in about 1892.
