attractive Weevil is usually associated with Plantains (Plantago
sp) and best recorded by sweep-netting low
vegetation. Nationally, Hypera plantaginis has a
patchy distribution over southern parts of the UK and in
Nottinghamshire has been recorded from a range of sites
including Clumber Park, Bentinck Banks and Eaton Wood.
