Adults are gray weevils, about 3 mm long, with a pronounced snout. They feed on flowers, buds, stems, and pods. Larvae are C-shaped legless grubs, have a brown head, and are up to 3 mm long. They feed on seeds in the pod and make an exit hole in the pod when they emerge. There is one generation per year.
