Black Vine Weevil

Found in gardens, nurseries, and greenhouses; typically shelters in soil or leaf litter during the day.

Adults eat the foliage of various plants (notably yew, rhododendron, and strawberries), while larvae feed on plant roots.

Nocturnal feeders that cannot fly; all individuals are female and reproduce through parthenogenesis.

Considered a significant agricultural and garden pest due to root damage caused by larvae and foliage notches from adults.
