The boll weevil has this big snout and it uses it to bite the top of the cotton plant. Then it licks out the cotton until it has no more cotton inside the ball. The boll weevil larvae and pupal do the same thing but they have to get help from the adult boll weevil to eat the top og the cotton plant.

The boll weevil eats the buds off the cotton plant, which prevents the cotton from growing.

The Boll Weevil lays it's eggs in the boll (flower) of the cotton plants, and when the eggs hatch the larvae eat through the plant. As well as the adult weevils eating the buds of cotton plants and just all around eating the plant.
