Species text
Otiorhynchus raucus is a scarce ground-dwelling weevil widely distributed in southern and eastern England. It is associated with disturbed ground, especially on loose sandy soils and the species appears to prefer loose sandy or chalky soils. It is phytophagous and polyphagous. The larvae feed on the roots of plants while adults tend to be found at the base of plants and in litter. This species may be threatened by urban development, the infilling of pits, the use of pesticides and herbicides, and natural succession and scrub invasion (Hyman & Parsons, 1992). References
