Collection and habitat data.

Conotrachelus juglandis breeds in the nuts, stems, and leaf petioles of Juglans spp. ( Drooz 1985). Most adults from New Brunswick were swept from foliage in hardwood forests and floodplain forests with butternut ( Juglans cinerea L.). One individual was beaten from flowers of choke cherry ( Prunus virginiana L.). A few adults were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in a hardwood forest with butternut. Adults were collected during April, June, and August.
