I found this Weevil in my garden moth trap on 31/08/08. Tilehurst - Reading - Berks - England. Can anyone help with the ID please? |

Hello, Tony! This is genus Curculio, possibly a female of the frequent C. glandium (breeding on oaks). But I am no expert, and even an expert would most likely need a more detailed photo (especially of the scutellum).

Hi Tony, I'd agree with Curculio glandium, which is the one I most frequently see in light-traps. C. venosus also turns up in light-traps but has a longer scutellum. Martin Martin Harvey |
