Two of these sites which contain pictures, are American but both ground beetles and vine weevils are European imports to the US - one more welcome than the other. From the pictures it's clear that ground beetles have a glossier shell - weevils have a textured\ridged more matt shell. Also ground beetles have a more rounded thorax - the chest and shoulders part - which in weevils is more sloping. Beetles have wider shoulders in other words. vine weevil (RHS UK) http://tinyurl.com/873xn in full - http://www.rhs.org.uk/Learning/resea...ine_weevil.asp or vine weevil (Ohio US) http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2016.html black beetle (US) (large picture) http://tinyurl.com/dy2xz or - http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/StratfordL...und_beetle.htm michael adams .... -- pitmastonlady |

Ground Beatle?
Useful beetles- including the violet garden beetle, devil's coachhorse and
ladybirds have a pair of pincer like mandibles designed to scissor into prey. Weevils have a long probiscos or snout so that they can suck juices from a plant. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of a vine weevil but other weevils have this characteristic 'prong'. Assassin bugs attack other insects and suck their juices, but are not particularly beetle like in appearance and have a beak rather than a long snout.

Ground Beatle?
In article , Charlie
Pridham writes "pitmastonlady" wrote in message news Can anyone please tell me the difference in appearence between a ground Beatle and a Vine Weavel Beatle. Any help would be appreciated. Ground beatles are shiny, if disturbed tend to leg it, vine weevils are dull black and if you look closely have orange spots on them and if disturbed play dead. More generally, weevils (of all types) have long 'noses'; and they tend to be slower and more cautious than beetles. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |
