The following document gives instructions for monitoring some of south Florida's native bromeliads and an exotic weevil (Metamasius callizona, the Mexican weevil, or, in this document, just "the weevil") in selected, mapped areas. These bromeliads include species that are threatened and endangered because of the weevil. This document explains how to monitor.

The homepage for Mapping and Monitoring the Weevil and its Host plants may be found on the Internet at:
