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.
Pink bollworm. The pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella), Spanish: lagarta rosada, is an insect known for being a pest in cotton farming. The adult is a small, thin, gray moth with fringed wings. The larva is a dull white, eight-legged caterpillar with conspicuous pink banding along its dorsum. The larva reaches one half inch in length. The pink bollworm is native to Asia, but has become an invasive species in most of the world's cotton-growing regions.
