Does Cosmopolities attack taro, Australia

February 2016. A member in northern Australia asked if there was any evidence that the banana weevil, Cosmopolites attacked taro.

The replies from members (Samoa thought that it was unlikely. They had seed or heard of any damage on taro due tho this weevil, or any other crop. It was possible, however, that other pests of banana, for instance, Rhabdoscelus obscurus and Elytroteinus subtruncatus, might feed on taro as they have a wider host range.
