(Illiger, 1794)

Homoeolabus analis, known generally as the leaf-rolling weevil or oak leaf rolling weevil, is a species of leaf-rolling weevil in the family of beetles known as Attelabidae.[1][2][3][4] The leaf roll of an Attelabidae[1][2][3][4] beetle is referred to as a nidus (plural, niduses or nidi)—the Latin word for 'nest'. The process of constructing the leaf roll is termed "nidification". The main purpose of a leaf roll is to keep the eggs safe during the gestation period. It is found in North America.[1] It is often preyed upon by the obligate egg predator and nest thief; Thief Weevil. [5]
