Notaris scirpi (Fabricius, 1792)
On the basis of just four records we have access to, Notaris scirpi is not a common Weevil in Nottinghamshire. This is a fairly large species, found at wetland sites on various species of Sedges, Rushes and Reeds. The county's recent records have come from Bentinck Banks, Moorbridge Pond in Bulwell, Attenborough NR, Warsop Main Pit Top, Eakring Flash and Rainworth Heath NR. Grateful thanks to Nick and Samantha Brownley for providing the specimen in the upper photographs.
