boll weevil  

Definición

  • In 1892, near brownsville, texas, a small beetle, identified by local agricultural authorities as the Boll Weevil, or Anthonomus grandis, made its first appearance in the United States. For the next century, the tiny insect would radically alter the South's agricultural economy by attacking the region's major crop—cotton. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Boll Weevil]
