abstract = {The coffee bean weevil, Araecerus fasciculatus (De Geer) (Coleoptera: Anthribidae), is a
cosmopolitan insect with >100 hosts, and has been reported as a pest of stored coffee. During a study
involving the coffee berry borer, we observed coffee bean weevils emerging from field-collected coffee
berries and used micro-computerized tomography (micro-CT) scans to observe the insect inside the
berry. Two eggs had eclosed inside the berry, resulting in observations of a newly eclosed adult beetle
and a 5th instar larva, each feeding on one of the two seeds. This is the first time since 1775, when the
insect was first described, that the insect has been observed inside a coffee berry.},
