Miarus campanulae (Linnaeus, 1767)
This small Weevil turned up in the sweep net during invertebrate survey work conducted at Sherwood Heath SSSI in 2012. Widespread throughout much of the south-east UK, Miarus campanulae is a small species (around 3mm) found on various species of Campanula, which at Sherwood Heath would refer to the Harebell Campanula rotundifolium, which grows commonly over parts of the heath. This was the first record for the Sherwood Forest NNR and surrrounding sites.
