Happy , 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).

The same weevil lying on its side in my hand, playing dead. (It was released shortly afterwards.)

It's #WeevilWednesday, you know the rules, post 'em if you got 'em.

Check your Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) for Larinus carlinae, the Canada thistle bud weevil. Note: it's actually a Eurasian plant, I have no idea why it's called that.

Happy Wednesday! This is a cactus eating weevil. I didn't have a lens that allowed me to zoom out to capture the plant better unfortunately.

Happy Wednesday

I know nothing of this fellow. It has no common name. A weevil person might be able to guess at its food from the size and shape of its gonzo snoot. I would guess flower buds perhaps.

: for the first time this season I have my own weevil for . This clumsy guy fell over at Christie Pits but he's fine now. Perhaps one of the Sitona clover weevils?

Wishing everyone a weevil-worthy Wednesday!

Broad-nosed weevil the right way up this time. Its snout has a squarish end and its dot-pitted carapace is faintly iridescent.

Its wednesday again and here is yet another weevil I can't tell you anything about. It looks remarkably similar to two others that I've posted, but I'm pretty sure it isn't closely related to either of them. If you know who this is, please tell me. Hashtags are my best guess. If Gonzo were a weevil...
