Weevil pest warms to life in south-west London
|
|

The Guardian

|
|
They're chomping in Chelsea, Fulham and Pimlico, but despite their fancy
|
|
taste in London addresses they are neither posh nor particularly fussy: they
|
|
are vine weevils and they want to eat your plants.
|
|
Two species of vine weevil previously unable to survive Britain's cold
|
|
winters have been discovered in south-west London, and one has also been
|
|
detected in Surrey, Cardiff and Edinburgh.
|
|
"This is probably the most serious new garden pest in recent memory," said
|
|
Max Barclay, the curator of beetles at the Natural History Museum in London
|
|
who discovered the creatures in the UK.
|
|
The black vine weevil has long been native to Britain, causing enormous
|
|
damage to glossy leaved plants such as laurels. But the two new species,
|
|
otiorhynchus armadillo and otiorhynchus salicicola, not previously known
|
|
north of Switzerland, are now prevalent in south London. "It's very likely
|
|
these weevils have been introduced to Britain through imported ornamental
|
|
plants from Italy," said Dr Barclay. "It looks like they're here to stay."
|
|
He found otiorhynchus armadillo on the window of a Chelsea department store
|
|
in 1998, but as the shop sold imported house plants, he assumed it was a
|
|
migrant. It has now quietly become the most common species of vine weevil in
|
|
south-west London. The second invader is not so numerous, but has
|
|
established itself firmly in the same area.
|
|
Apart from laurels, vine weevils attack bay, viburnum, ornamental ivy, and
|
|
grape vines. An early sign of trouble is that notches appear in leaves. The
|
|
soil-dwelling larvae bite the roots off below the surface.
|
|
One possible explanation for the invaders' successful colonisation of
|
|
Britain is global warming. Earlier springs and milder winters are already a
|
|
fact.
