A few more Deluxe boxes from December 2025 are available now, featuring: Male weevil top view enamel pin Female weevil and fruit enamel pin Male weevil iron-on embroidered patch Male and female glittery sticker sheet Female vinyl sticker Magnetic fact card Female weevil Christmas tree bauble ornament (or pendant) Despite its gorgeous colors and comical face, this beautiful beetle is not well loved by orchard owners and gardeners. Females use their long snouts to bore holes into young stone fruits in the rose family, such as cherries, plums, and apricots. An egg is laid in each hole. After hatching, the larvae consume the fruit for several weeks. Each female can lay over a hundred eggs, and large populations can cause much damage. Don't forget to subscribe to the Bug Box in the future, so you never miss out.
