Geocache Description:

You will find this cache in the area where you will find the weevils. This cache is located on private property with the owners permission. We ask for no night caching. If you see any of us around stop and say hi and bring your own pencil.

females lay their eggs inside developing nuts on the trees during mid summer. The egg hatches into a creamy white, grub-like larva that feeds inside the nut until fall. When the acorns fall to the ground in autumn, the larva chews a perfectly round 1/8 inch hole in the nut and emerges in late fall or early winter. The larvae then tunnel into the soil, where they will stay for one to two years before emerging as a new adult weevil to repeat the process.
