Sphenophorus spp.
Billbugs are weevils that damage turfgrass by feeding on stems and roots. The larvae, which look like legless white grubs, cause the most harm by tunneling through plant tissues. Affected turf appears wilted and may pull up easily. Infestations are often mistaken for drought stress or disease. Proper mowing, irrigation, and insecticides can help manage billbug populations.
