Heather
Weevil Neliocarus sus  |
||
| This seems to be a common species wherever Heather grows. On Budby Common, it is found easily, but drops off the vegetation quickly when approached. This is predominantly a black weevil, with a dusting of white scales down the side of the elytra and onto the pronutum. The Heather Weevil has recently seen a name change (a relatively common practice in Coleoptera and Lepidoptera) changing from Strophosoma sus to Neliocarus sus. | ||
