From the article Phyllobius argentatus on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
Phyllobius argentatus is a slender and elongate weevil, measuring 3.8-6.0 mm in length with bright metallic green scales on its elytra.
Range & habitat
Phyllobius argentatus is associated with a broad range of host plant, including examples in the plant families Salicaceae, Rosaceae, Ulmaceae, Fagaceae, and Betulaceae. It is widely distributed in Europe, where it may be regarded as a pest of fruit trees and hazelnuts where adult beetles may bite holes in leaves and flowers. The damage is, however, rarely important unless it occurs on young trees and nursery stocks.
