Cionus hortulanus  |
||
| A small and distinctive weevil which measures little more than about 4mm. Usually found on Figwort (Scrophularia sp) Cionus hortulanus has a south-easterly distribution in the UK, but does include south Wales and north into Lincolnshire. This adult was one of two found on a single Figwort plant growing at Clipstone Old Quarter in May 2011 and was the first ever record for the Sherwood Forest NNR. They were also found in company with Cionus alauda (also new for the NNR at the time) and the much more common Cionus scrophulariae (being the first NNR record since 1899). | ||
