Hypera rumicis
This brown weevil is found on Docks and Sorrel, but is a fairly large species. We first found Hypera rumicis at Eakring Flash in May 2010, then found the possible first Sherwood Forest record in early June. Presumably a common species, found in many places where it's foodplant grows.
