Nut weevils can be serious pests of native and non-native nut trees, attacking the kernels in the developing nuts while the nuts are still on the tree.
Big Bugs on Tour

This exhibition can be seen at the intu Chapelfield shopping centre in Norwich, featuring giant models of indigenous, intricately designed and superbly executed bugs during September 2019 (although it has to be said that one of the twelve exhibits is actually not indigenous). New research commissioned by the organisers has apparently revealed that being closer to nature makes people 67% happier, which prompted the Big Bugs on tour exhibition, aimed at bringing adults and children face to face with twelve giant bugs. One in six children is said to have not seen a single bug in six months and the campaign aims to reconnect children and adults to nature.
