Weevil (Nedyus quadrimaculatus) (New for 2023)

Nedyus quadrimaculatus is broadly similar to Parethelcus pollinarius and both are common on nettles. The white spots on the elytra of Nedyus are usually distinctive though early in the year they may be worn - fresh adults appear in mid summer. Parethelcus also has dark tibiae and a large tooth on the underside of the front femur. It also has a projection on the side of the pronotum.
