Anthonomus haematopus
Red-winged Weevil
Anthonomus haematopus is a species of true weevil in the family Curculionidae, commonly known as the Red-winged Weevil. It is native to North America and has been recorded across multiple Canadian provinces. The specific epithet "haematopus" (from Greek "haima" meaning blood and "pous" meaning foot) likely refers to reddish coloration on the legs or body. As with other members of the large genus Anthonomus, it is presumably associated with plants, though specific host relationships remain undocumented in available sources.
