nev , 8 days ago Happy #WeevilWednesday, everyone! Post 'em if you got 'em. A recent new species for me: Grypus equiseti, the horsetail weevil. Found in boggy meadow next to a creek where there was, indeed, a lot of horsetail (Equisetum). #iNaturalist observation: https://inaturalist.ca/observations/221974398 :inaturalist: #bugstodon #insects #beetles #weevils #Coleoptera #Curculionidae The same weevil lying on its side in my hand, playing dead. (It was released shortly afterwards.)
