Rhinusa pilosa
Rhinusa pilosa is a species of true weevil in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae. It is found exclusively on Linaria vulgaris Mill. (Plantaginaceae), also known as common or yellow toadflax where it creates a gall on the plant's stem, and was found originally in Serbia. R. pilosa has been introduced in the United States and Canada as an biocontrol agent to control L. vulgaris.
