Subject: Evil weevils

Hi yet again!

   Hey, these really are separate topics :-)! I had/have a problem with
   weevils in one of my Sarr pots. I first noticed the damage when some
   of the pitchers had round holes chewed out of the side of the wing.
   By coincidence, the local paper ran an article stating that this type
   of leaf damage was often caused by weevils and it went on about how
   to catch them. Anyways, I've removed 3 weevils currently from the
   pot, and hopefully that's it, but I'm wondering if they do damage to
   the rhizome of the plants as well, or if they just attack the leaves?

   Also, how do weevils get around? I'm just wondering why they're only
   in this one pot, and not in any of the other Sarrs...yet!

Thanks in advance!

Chris
