August 2, Myles Standish State Forest, Plymouth
European weevil deliberately introduced to the US to fight the invasive knapweeds (in this case, Centaurea stoebe ssp. micranthos). One of two weevil species released in MSSF in summer/early fall of 2012 and 2015. The releases appear to be unsuccessful due to lack of cooperation from the Forest maintenance/, who kept mowing release sites.
