description Cowpea Weevil Overview
[Callosobruchus maculatus](https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/IN1338), known as the cowpea weevil or cowpea seed beetle, is a stored-legume pest in the leaf beetle family Chrysomelidae. Females glue eggs to the surface of dry seeds, and the larvae bore into the seed and develop there before adults chew round exit holes through the seed coat. It attacks cowpeas and other legumes, can reproduce in warm storage, and is important because much of its feeding damage occurs inside apparently intact seeds.
