Default hydrangea pest

"stuart noble" wrote ...

Having finally got some buds on my Hydrangea seemannii after five years or
so, I notice the foliage is being eaten alive by something. Anyone any
ideas?
While it looks like a caterpillar with a very large mouth, the tip of the
leaf suggests otherwise.
Hopefully a link to to a photo follows, but I gather some servers remove
these

Anyway, any advice appreciated


I was thinking Vine Weevil.
Take a look at the leaves during the night and see if there are any Weevils
about.
