Clay-coloured Weevil
Otiorhynchus singularis
The Clay-coloured Weevil is a small, brown bug that loves to munch on plants. It has a long snout and tiny legs, making it look quite funny as it moves around in gardens and fields.
生息地: Gardens
外見
The Clay-coloured Weevil has a stout, oval body, typically dull grey-brown to reddish-brown, often appearing dusty due to short, dense, pale scales. Its distinguishing features include a short, broad snout (rostrum) and deeply ridged wing covers (elytra), which are fused, meaning it cannot fly.
