''Curculio nucum'' is a medium-sized beetle, with an especially elongated snout, characteristic of the Curculionini tribe of the weevil family . Its larvae develop in hazel nuts ''Corylus avellana'', being a serious pest in hazelnut orchards. It occurs in most of Europe, from south Sweden, Finland and Great Britain to the Mediterranean.
