The strawberry clipper, Anthonomus signatus, also known as the strawberry weevil, is a dark, reddish-brown weevil about 1/10 inch long; its head is prolonged to form a slender, curved snout about 1/3 as long as the body. Adults overwinter primarily in fence rows and wood lots (although a small portion of a population may remain in the strawberry field), then move to plants with developing fruit buds. The seasonal timing of strawberry flowering coincides with clipper movement from overwintering sites, so strawberries are ideal host plants for this insect.
