Protapion apricans  |
||
| A very small weevil which feeds on the flowers of Clover (especially Trifolium pratense). Protapion apricans was commonly swept from flowers at Eakring Flash in early June 2009. As with many weevils, there are numerous identification pitfalls caused by similar species, but these can be narrowed down to the plant on which they were collected from. Length of the one in the photographs (female) was approximately 2mm, but males are smaller. | ||
