Here's a pretty good close-up of these weevils....WHAT ARE THEY??????

-What can I do to get rid of them and WHEN in the plant's growth season?

--Should the plant be sprayed at some given time? I sprayed it once with Neem when the plant was just growing. It is impossible to spray the buds as they do not all grow, or bloom, or set seeds at the same time.

I am at a loss........I just don't have the time to go through this bug-killing every time.
Besides--I cannot sort through some 1000 seeds to get rid of the ones with the insides chewed out! At the best--I can write a short note to any of the recipients of these seeds that I have sprayed and washed the afterwards and to not plant the seeds with the holes.....

I DID wash all the seeds in a colander this AM and then rinse them all in some warm water with a few drips of dish soap in it. Dried them on paper towels and that is all I am doing.....If there are any more bugs hiding in some seeds and will crawl out later--I will screem!!!!

H-E-L-P!!!!! Gita

Here's the close up.
