Abstract
The alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal), is a serious pest of alfalfa and occurs in all 48 conterminous United States (USDA 1972). In the southern part of its range, females oviposit on warm days throughout the fall and winter, and the damage done to early spring plant growth in these areas is generally attributed to larvae from these eggs (Evans 1959, Campbell et al. 1961). The literature pertaining to survival and over-wintering of alfalfa weevil eggs and their importance to spring damage of alfalfa in different geographic regions has recently been reviewed by Blickenstaff et al. (1972).
