The white pine weevil, Pissodes strobi Peck has been the object of numerous investigations since the early nineteenth century, from which an extensive literature has developed. Despite these efforts, the weevil continues to be a serious pest and one of the most important factors limiting successful reforestation with white pine, Pinus strobus L. It has, therefore, become increasingly apparent that detailed studies of the physical and biological requirements of the weevil are necessary before further efforts can be made to protect white pine stands, both natural and planted, from attack by this insect.
