They measured butterflies, beetles, weevils, ground spiders, web-building spiders, moths and grasshoppers.

他们测量了、壳虫、象鼻虫、地蜘蛛、织网蜘蛛、飞蛾和蚱蜢的体型。

By 2013, a group of us became convinced that weevils help promised to combat giant salvinia.

在2013年，我们小组证实象虫对管控槐叶萍确实有帮助。

Photonic crystals are also what make these weevils look like they were dipped in glitter.

光子晶体也是使这些象鼻虫看起来像是浸在闪光粉中的原因。

Dr Huang's research into the weevils began when he noted that this theory had never been tested.

当时黄博士注意到这个理论从未被验证过，因此他开始了对象鼻虫的研究。

The lutinus or lichen weevils are covered with hairy spikes that provide a perfect camouflage for moving through vegetation.

地衣象鼻虫身上满是毛刺为它在植物丛中移动供了完美的伪装。

So, we organized the grassroots effort to build a weevil greenhouse here in Uncertain, Texas.

所以，我们组织了德克萨斯州安塞庭当地民众为我们建立温室来培养象虫。

That does not, however, mean that weevil young are not.

但那并不意味着小象鼻虫也不是。

Pachyrhynchus weevils have a predilection for laying their eggs inside the fruit of a mangrove-dwelling plant called the fish-poison tree.

球背象鼻虫偏好把它们的卵产在一种植物的果实中，这种植物被称为鱼毒树，它们生长于红树林中。

He's as blind as a weevil, so warn him not to take it all at once. OK.

他基本上全瞎了，所以要醒他不要一口气喝完。明白。

Until, in 1981, African palm weevils were introduced to the country.

直到 1981 年，非洲棕榈象才被引入该国。

But even when the pesticides have been applied thoroughly, a few adult weevils typically survive.

但即使彻底施用杀虫剂，一些成年象鼻虫通常仍能存活。

Third, a problem with the pesticide strategy is that infested trees have hundreds of weevils living deep inside them.

三，农药策略的一个问题是，受感染的树木深处生活着数百只象鼻虫。

Pesticides need to be applied very thoroughly to reach deep inside a tree to kill the weevils living in hard-to-reach places there.

杀虫剂需要非常彻底地施用，才能深入树内，杀死生活在难以到达的地方的象鼻虫。

It's a type of beetle called a weevil, and this particular one looks like it was dipped in glitter, but this is also a form of iridescence.

这是一种虫，叫做象鼻虫，这种虫看起来像是蘸了闪光粉，但这也是彩虹色的一种形式。

You see, by the time palm tree first starts showing visible symptoms like yellow leaves it typically has been infested by weevils for months.

你看，当棕榈树一次开始出现明显的症状（如黄叶）时，它通常已经被象鼻虫侵扰了几个月。

Real giraffes use them to reach those top leaves they feed on, but this weevil can easily climb up to the leaves it wants to nibble on.

长颈鹿用长脖子够到树顶的叶子来吃不过这种象鼻虫可以轻易地爬到它们想吃的任何叶子上。

So this method would miss a lot of trees in the initial stages of weevil infestation because they would not be showing any signs of infestation.

因此，这种方法会在象鼻虫侵扰的初始阶段错过很多树木，因为它们不会表现出任何侵扰迹象。

Then the ears are separated from the stalks, and deposited in the corncrib with the husks on; otherwise, stripped of the husks, the weevil would destroy it.

然后将穗与茎分离，连同外皮一起放入玉米槽中； 否则，剥去外壳，象鼻虫会毁掉它。

Yet by the time the signs become visible the weevils that infested the tree have already had a chance to reproduce and some have already moved on to infest other trees.

然而，当这些迹象变得明显时，侵扰这棵树的象鼻虫已经有机会繁殖，有些已经开始侵扰其他树木。

Then he washed his hands, threw the oilcloth overhimself, and before midnight he returned with a few strings of dried meat, several bags of rice, corn with weevils, and some emaciated bunches of bananas.

然后他洗了手， 把油布盖在身上，半夜前他带着几串肉干、几袋大米、带象鼻虫的玉米和几串瘦弱的香蕉回来了。
