Pyllobius maculicornis  |
||
| This is another of the large group of bright green/gold weevils. Very similar to Phyllobius pomaceus (very commonly seen on Nettles) Phyllobius maculicornis is also found on Nettles and a wide range of other plants. Differences between the species are extremely subtle. The green/gold coplouration is caused by a dusting of fine scales, which eventually rub off. This was one of several seen during July at Sherwood Forest NNR. | ||
