This undated photo provided by the United States Department of Agriculture shows a cotton boll weevil. Louisiana and Arkansas have stepped up boll weevil trapping because two of the destructive, long-snounted beetles were found in northern Mississippi on Sept. 29, 2018. The head of Mississippi's boll weevil eradication program says he thinks the two males probably hitched a ride on a vehicle, though nobody knows for sure how they arrived in Batesville. Boll weevils were declared eradicated in Arkansas in 2006, Mississippi in 2009 and Louisiana in 2012. (United States Department of Agriculture via AP)
