| Ceutorhynchus
pallidactylus is often described as a pest species
of Oil-seed Rape, but it's distribution is sometimes
quite patchy. Despite being a common weevil, this was the
first known record for Sherwood Forest NNR and was found
by sweeping low vegetation, near to fields of Oil-seed
Rape in April 2009. It occurs on many varieties of
cultivated Brassica plants. |
