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.
A very plump-looking mottled light brown weevil with a long snout inside the leaves of a primrose plant.
