About this event

Weevils are one of the UK's most diverse groups of beetles, with around 640 species currently known to occur here. You will find weevils every time you go and look for insects, but they have a reputation for being difficult to identify. Mark will introduce the different groups present in the UK, and outline how you can get to know them better.

Mark Gurney is one of the organisers of the UK Weevil Recording Scheme and is responsible for the production and maintenance of a range of excellent identification guides for the British species.

The 1-hour event will consist of a presentation followed by a Q&A with the tutor using questions provided by the live audience. The presentation will be recorded and made available through the entoLIVE blog alongside a write-up of the Q&A and any links to further info.

entoLIVE is delivered by the Biological Recording Company, British Entomological & Natural History Society, Royal Entomological Society and Amateur Entomologists' Society, with support from Buglife, Field Studies Council and NBN Trust.
