The pea-leaf weevil is a small beetle that can turn up almost anywhere, including in and around houses. It is the most commonly recorded weevil. As the name suggests, pea-leaf weevils feed on legumes such as peas and beans. Adults feed on the leaves, leaving u-shaped notches at the edges of the leaf. Their larvae live in the soil and feet on the root nodules. They don't usually eat enough to damage plants in gardens and allotments.

Pea-leef weevils spend the winter as adults, tucked away in grass or similar hiding spots. They become active early in spring, with females laying eggs throughout spring and early summer. When the larvae are fully grown, they pupate in the soil and emerge as adults a few weeks later.
