Apion
frumentarium  |
||
| A member of the Apionidae family, this small and extremely colourful weevil is usually found on low vegetation. With a length of less than 6mm and despite it's bright red colour, this is a relatively inconspicuous species. The example pictured was found at Hare Hill Wood recently. Of the two found in the Eakring area during March 2007, both were on Dock (Rumex acetosa) but dropped to the ground quickly once disturbed. | ||
