A charming little Nut Leaf Weevil (Strophosoma melanogrammum) hanging on through the rainy winter weather.
#Weevil time! These beetles of the genus Curculio typically measure from 0.24 to 0.35 inches. There long snoot is called a rostrum, and females can have one that exceeds the length of their bodies! It is the perfect tool for boring into nuts, which is where females lay their eggs. When newborn nut #weevils hatch, their home's also a feast. They munch on the inside of a nut from summer through autumn, until their birth place finally drops to the ground.

I found this guy with his paws up in the air so I put a leaf nearby so he could use it to turn round

Rhinoncomimus latipes, a weevil introduced into the United States in 2004 to control mile-a-minute (Persicaria perfoliata), a Class B noxious weed. Larvae eat stems, adults eat leaves. The beetle's range is expanding ~4 km/yr. #weevil #insect #entomology #ipm #biocontrol #beetle #weed #invasive #coleoptera #macro #photography
