Study Group Bagous

Since October 2001, there is a new study group in the CURCI: The Study Group Bagous. Aims of the Study Group Bagous are:

 

o       Collecting faunistical data on the distribution of the middle European Bagous species.

 

o       The interaction of the species with their host-plants and their biotopes and also their ability to fly are important parts of the investigations.

 

o       The adult weevils, their host-plants, characteristical feeding-notches and habitats will be documentated by photos. The larval stages also will be taken into account, at least in some species.

 

All interested friends of weevils are kindly invited to cooperate. It is planned to publish the data on the SNUDEBILLER-CD Rom some years later.
