Found in South Poland, I am not sure, but I suppose that it is Ph. calcaratus. Am I right ?

The first and the second photo is Phyllobius calcaratus. I doubt the third is. I'm not quite sure, but it Looks like Phyllobius pomaceus to me. But that can be as right as it can be wrong.

Ciao

I think the third can be same specimen of the second picture: please look at the macula over the left knee: it seems the same at 2/3 of elitra in the second image. Maybe it fell down; that's why leaves are different? I am otherwise quite sure that first and second are two specimens, both calcaratus as you say, possibly the first a female and a male the second one.
Good evening to you and Grzegorz.
Giorgio. :hi:

It is surely Phyllobius pomaceus.

Hmmm... Klaas and Giorgio (in the case of first and second picture) said Ph. calcaratus, Roberto claims otherwise - it is Ph. pomaceus.
Roberto, could you explain why ?

Thanks for answer. I think too, it felt down :) Is that possible that both Ph. calcaratus and Ph. pomaceus live at the same area, on the same plants ?
Now I don't remember if I found them in one place, but I have got both species in my photo collection (collected on the same meadow).

Please ask to others: I don't well know biology of them. Sorry!
Giorgio. :)
