Abstract
Adult boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, collected from cultivated cotton in Arizona lived an average of 6 months in the laboratory, and a few lived as long as 11 months; in the field this longevity was abbreviated. Thurberia weevils, A. grandis thurberiae Pierce, were lived than weevils from cultivated cotton, and overwintering thurberia weevils lived longer than the 1st square-reared generation. The fecundity of Arizona boll weevils was highly variable, and the potential was drastically reduced in the field. The ovipositional pattern of weevils from cultivated cotton was relatively consist-tent and apparently was closely associated with longevity.
