Anthonomus eugenii Cano - (pepper weevil)
The weevil is found in Central and South America as well as in some Pacific islands. There have been several reports from Europe, e.g from Italy in 2013.
It attacks flowers and fruits of sweet and hot pepper. Feeding of the larvae causes fruit drop and internal fruit damage, making the fruits unmarketable. Crop losses can exceed 50%.
