Figwort Weevil is native to Europe but ranges as far as North Africa and Asia. For the UK, they're common throughout England and Wales, although, sightings are rare in Scotland. Beetles can be seen on leaves and flowerheads throughout April to late autumn, favouring roadsides, parks, woodland borders and other shaded habitats. Common host plants include Phygelius, Buddleja globosa, Scrophularia and Verbascum. These weevils produce a sticky coating for its body that's distasteful to birds.
