Description:
The right bug is hazel-leaf roller weevil (Apoderus coryli), it's a common beetle species in Belarus. As you may understand by its name, it rolls the leaves of the hazel (Corylus avellana) to make a nest for its eggs. The left insect is quite more interesting from the scientist's point of view. It's the pied shield bug (Tritomegas sexmaculatus), and when I shown it to my friend who studies this group of insects, she said this species were registered in Belarus very recently, and I have found the new place where this species live in our country.
