What destructive insect destroyed Georgia's cotton crops during the Great Depression?
Answer Boll Weevil
By the early 1920s, the boll weevil had destroyed over 60 % of Georgia's cotton crops, greatly impacting the economy during the time. Native to Central Mexico, boll weevils migrated to the United States in the late 19th century and began laying their eggs in cotton and feeding on the buds and flowers.
