Late in summer, curculios chewed tiny holes in every acorn scattered beneath the oak.

The orchard manager carefully checked each branch for signs of plum curculios.

The entomologist studied the curculionidous specimens collected from the oak grove.

A curculionid was found gnawing through the farmers' stored wheat, forcing them to discard much of their harvest.

Curculionoids are often mistaken for other beetles because of their elongated snouts.

A solitary curculionoid clung to the underside of the oak leaf, its elongated snout probing for a place to lay eggs.
