en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larinus_turbinatus The females lay five to six eggs per day, each on one flower bud. If occurs that several females lay the egg on the same flower head, the stronger larvae kill the weaker larvae, so that at the last larval stage, there is usually only one larva per flower. Pupation also takes place in the thistle blossom. These weevils are oligophagous on various thistle species of the genera Carduus and Cirsium.
