b'Black vine weevil - (Otiorhynchus species) - The grooved black vine weevil is a snout beetle of about 8 to11 mm long with dark, greyish brown, grooved wing covers. The beetles eat round bites from leaf rims. The actual damage is caused by the larvae, which are living subterraneously. The larvae are white to pinkish in colour, legless and have brown heads. They feed on the young roots of plants, as a result of which plants will die. The larvae overwinter in the soil or in the rhizome of the plant. In the latter case the plants will die.MitesJust like insects, mites are arthropods. They have a skin of chitin. This skin serves as external skeleton. Although we can distinctly discern in insects their head, thorax and rump, in mites the corpus is forming one whole. Insects always have 6 legs and mites have 4 legs. We can distinguish three species of mites: 1) harmless species, which feed on moss, algae and fungi, for example: moss mites; 2) harmful species, which suck the leaves of plants.
