Species text
This is a widely distributed but local ground-living weevil. It is found particularly on the coast, on cliffs under stones and debris etc, but also inland in similar situations, particularly on light soils (Morris, 1997). It is polyphagous with no known feeding preferences. Otiorhynchus ligneus is very local in Essex, with only one other recent record. References
