Curculio
nucum is very similar to the Acorn Weevil(Curculio glandium) but appears to be slightly larger
and has a more bulky appearence. It often goes by the
common name of the Long-snout Weevil, yet this is rather
misleading as there are several other species having an
equally long rostrum. This one was found in Sherwood
Forest in mid-May 2007 and is probably a very common
species throughout the county.
