Have You Seen This Bug? The California Department of Food and Agriculture has sent more than 1.7 million post cards to California residents asking for their help in detecting Diaprepes Root Weevils, a destructive pest responsible for quarantines in Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego County.

They are native to the Caribbean, have generally infested Florida and a part of Texas. Adult weevils feed on the leaves of plants and their larvae plunge underground and feed on plant roots.
