The series offers information in a visually appealing way. This unit includes ALL the stages of the life cycle of the oak tree with each section consisting of background reading passages, posters, photographs and choices of projects or activities for the students to demonstrate their understanding of each the stages. Acorn to Oak Tree demonstrates life cycle extremes, as the plant grows from a relatively small seed into an enormous oak tree. This unit includes everything you ever needed (or wanted) to know about the life of an oak tree from the tiny acorn to the mature oak tree and the life that one oak tree can sustain in the forest. The grubs of the many species of Curculio are amazingly similar in appearance.Wow! 125 pages of informational passages, posters, photographs, activities, projects, art integration, graphic organizers, craftivity templates and so much more to choose from! Part of A Trees and Forests Study or All About Trees. Usually by the second week of the fair you can see the grubs of Curculio caryatrypes writhing around among the nuts. (One of the best places to see Curculio grubs chewing out of nuts is at the North Carolina State Fair produce display of Chinese chestnuts. Grubs then tunnel into the soil where they remain for one to two years before pupating and emerging as a new adult weevil to repeat the wheel of existence. Then in late fall or early winter, grubs bore circular 1/ 8 inch holes through which they escape. The grubs feed inside the acorn until fall when the acorns drop to the ground. Acorn weevil grubs are curved, fatter in the middle, and grow to about 3/ 8 inch long.
Grubs use ridges on the underside of the body to move about. From the eggs hatch pale grubs that are legless, short, and cylindrical with brown heads. They then lay one or more eggs in the kernel of the acorn. Females use the chewing mouthparts at the end of their rostrums to bore holes into acorns while still on the tree during the summer. These weevils are brown and variously patterned. The rostrum of females is longer than those of males. These 3/ 8 inch-long acorn weevils have very long, slender snouts called rostrums. The acorns of various oak trees are often infested by acorn weevil grubs, Curculio glandium. Description and Biology Skip to Description and Biology
