Carrot Weevil / Moehrenruessler / Liparus coronatus
Our native little elephant with the exoskeleton. Alas at all cuteness of the little long nose, it is not a very nice beetle, favoring all the eatable garden umbellivers people grow for their own consumption to oviposit on -- as the name says, it is most into ruining the carrot crop, but it also eagerly spoils parsnips, fennel and parsley... / Unser einheimischer kleiner Elefant mit dem Panzer. Leider kein sehr erfreulicher Kaefer trotz des putzigen Aussehens, denn er legt seine Eier besonders gerne an die essbaren Doldenbluetler die sich Menschen in den Garten pflanzen um sie selber zu verspeisen. Also ciao Karotte, Pastinake und Fenchel... |
