Adults drill holes in the base of the plant, causing mechanical damage and facilitating the entry of microorganisms that decompose the plant tissues. Ramírez (1993) re- ported that the adults of S. acupunctatus were most frequently found between the base of the leaves and the main root of the henequen. The weevil prefers mature plants and abandoned plantations. Adults can be detected every month of the year, but are more abundant in the rainy season. The adult's favorite habitat is the inferior stratum of the agave, with oviposition occurring in moist tissues of rotten leaves or in the base of the leaves (Lock 1969).
