University of Alberta E.H. Strickland Entomological Museum

Common NameCabbage seedpod weevil SeasonalityOne generation per year. Ceutorhynchus obstrictus is common from late May to late August. IdentificationAdults have round grey bodies (2-4 mm in length) and grey legs covered with fine white scales. Ceutorhynchus obstrictus has a long curved proboscis with small bent antennae. When disturbed, it displays the interesting behavior of folding its legs and proboscis against its body to make it look like a small grey pebble. Similar in appearance to its co-generic C. neglectus it can be differentiated by its bigger size and grey body color.
