Green Nettle Weevil - Phyllobius pomaceus
Identification with this species can be difficult as the green colour comes from the dense scales which over time can rub off leaving this weevil body colour looking a lot darker. Can be found from April to July often in common nettles. Its a shame you normally find this in nettles talk about my poor very red stinging nose after I got this, ouch !
