Der knapp 3 mm kleine Brennnesselrüssler (Nedyus quadrimaculatus) beim Hofknicks. Wenn man mal Sehnsucht nach #Rüsselkäfer|n bekommt braucht man nur Brennnesseln abzuklopfen und voilà!

Shhhh! I'm hiding! Hiding in my fluorescent seafoam green outfit with yellow highlights. This is a broad nosed #weevil in the genus Compsus bashfully trying to crawl under some moss.

Der niedliche Borstige Blattschaber (#Cionus olens) ist, wenn man genau hinschaut, an #Königskerzen (#Verbascum) zu finden. Im Ruhrgebiet kann man ihn im Umfeld von Brachen finden.

I think that this is a Larinus turbinatus, which is one of the 'true weevils'. Members of the genus can useful to humans b/c they eat the flower buds of noxious weeds.

"Onward, noble steed!"
A long-legged velvet mite scrambling around the lakeside boardwalk ended up climbing onto this placid weevil several times.

Happy #WeevilWednesday!
A few weeks ago I came across this beautiful _Polydrusus_ weevil caught in a spiderweb on a tree trunk. Normally I let nature take its course, but I felt bad for the little guy, so I freed it (after getting photos of course).

This #weevil (#Curculionidae) appeared in the #SLAM #Malaise trip this past week and was so curled up I thought it was a tumbling flower #beetle (#Mordellidae). I know know why the subfamily is called #Cryptorhynchinae ... The rostrum was completely concealed, along with half the eye.
How do most people identify weevils? Pure gestalt? From images in the Zimmerman volumes, it most resembled Amydanus, now synonymised with Ampagia.

Eichelbohrer-♀️ (Curculio glandium) fressen Löcher in unreife Eicheln und legen dort Eier ab. Die Larven entwickeln sich dort, überwintern aber im Boden. Ab Mai erscheint die neue Generation.

Kratzdistelrüssler (Larinus turbinatus) an Acker-Kratzdistel (Cirsium arvense). Er gilt als wärmeliebend. Die Larven fressen im Stengel und verpuppen sich in verblühten Distelblüten. 21.08.22

Der Gewöhnliche Weiden-Kätzchenrüssler (Dorytomus melanophthalmus) lebt an und von Weidenarten (Salix sp.) und ist daher meist eher in feuchteren Biotopen zu finden.

A tiny Weevil (family Curculionidae) spotted at Pasir Ris Park, Singapore, on 8 October 2022. I might not have spotted it if it wasn't resting on the leaf, where its colours made it more visible.
