it's #WeevilWednesday, here's Acanthoscelidius acephala which I find on evening primrose. I'm obsessed with how their faces look like "^|^" from a certain angle when they have their heads tucked in!!

The weevil even more uncurled, flailing its clawed feet. (I put it back on the plant after this, don't worry)

The weevil in my palm, on its back, just uncurling from playing dead and reaching out one back foot to right itself. The way its head tucks into its thorax makes its face look like "^|^"

One of the same kind of weevil sitting on my fingertip, for scale. It's like 4mm long, tops.

It's #WeevilWednesday, post 'em if you got 'em!

These little bluish-black weevils were all over the cosmos in a park. Not sure if #Curculionidae or #Brentidae, subfamily #Apioninae.

Side view of the same kind of weevil on a cosmos stem, so you can see the full length of its snout. It has a grooved carapace with a blue sheen.

A head-on view of the weevil. It has large eyes and looks ridiculous.

Black firefly (𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘢) at Thompson Park:

#firefly #coleoptera #beetles #insects #nature

A long beetle, mostly black but with a bit of orange and yellow above the head, perches on a green leaf with serrated edges. Its arched antennae are long and segmented. Beyond the leaf there's a lovely stream of light blue bokeh.

#ladybug #leaf#Coleoptera #beetles #insects

A ladybug-- a small round beetle with a white-spotted black body mostly covered by black-spotted red elytra-- is dwarfed by the leaf it perches on, an expanse of shiny green shot through with pale yellow-green veins.
