Large pine weevil — size comparison — facts and sources

The large pine weevil inhabits European coniferous forests and other places with conifers. It occurs both in extensive woodland and small pine or spruce plantings. Its alternative Polish common name refers to the same species.

Adults feed on conifer bark and phloem, potentially damaging young trees. Larvae develop beneath bark, including the underground portions of stumps.

Both adults and larvae overwinter. Activity chiefly occurs during the warmer part of the year.
