This weevil never can feed on orange and never can be found in America, not only is not invasive but endemic of a very small area of Spain and discovered for science as lately as in 1999.
It feeds on Gypsophila struthium ssp. hispanica and in Salsola vermiculata. Exceptionally in Tamarix sp.
It's not found near human cultives or gardens.
