Grypus equiseti, known by the common name horsetail weevil, is a species of weevil native to Europe.[2][3][4] It feeds on Equisetum arvense (field horsetail or common horsetail) and Equisetum palustre (marsh horsetail) plants.[5] It has been introduced to New Zealand to control Equisetum arvense, which is an invasive species there.
