- This page contains information and pictures about Thin Strawberry Weevils that we
found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
-
 - Body length 10mm
-
-
- This
small weevil was found feeding on leaf early summer in Alexandra Hill. This
weevil has extremely elongated body. It is brown in colour with a creamy-white
pattern on each side of wings cover.
-
-
- We also found this small long beetle in Carbrook Wetland on Mar 2011. It
feeds on leaves with mark markings, which match with the beetle's camouflage
colours and make them hard to be notices. When disturbed, it runs quickly
along stems of host plant.
