Larinus onopordi, also known as the globe thistle capitulum weevil, is a species of true weevil in the genus Larinus.[3] [4]
Range
This species is found in regions surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. [5]
Ecology
Larinus onopordi is univoltine, undergoing one generation per year. Females lay eggs in the capitulum (flowerhead) of globe thistles, mainly Echinops sphaerocephalus, Echinops orientalis and Echinops pungens.[5] [6] [2] Larvae develop in the capitulum, eating and destroying the seeds. Pupation occurs in late summer, and a new generation of adults emerge after a few days. [7]
The braconid wasp Bracon facialis has been reared from the pupal stage. [8]
