On June 1st, 2010 three specimens of the weevil Otiorhynchus dieckmanni were found on the 'Friesenheimer Insel' in Mannheim by using a beating tray on hazel bushes. The nocturnal species is polyphagous and can be found on various herbaceous plants and bushes. The larva is rhizophagous and can become a pest. Otiorhynchus dieckmanni is often found synanthropic, as in this case, e.g. in gardens, parks and dumps. The species is known to occur in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Sweden.
