Ok, Crazy bonus #WeevilWednesday
I can't help myself... I mean... WTF is this thing. It didn't want to sit still and kept dodging to the other side of the leaf so I don't have a photo with the whole thing in focus. What is the function of this form?

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.

Some weeks ago I saw a lot of #dandelions with one or two little holes in the flowerhead.
After some research I found out, that little #weevils (Glocianus punctiger) might be the ones who made them. They lay their eggs directly under the flowerhead and the larvae eat the seeds when they start to grow. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311536092_Locher_im_Lowenzahn)
Have you also seen these little holes?

You know what, it's been a tough time for everyone, so have another weevil. Just because.

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).

A tiny weevil pauses.
Weevils are funny. They're sometimes willing to pose, but when alarmed they roll and drop to the ground. I guess that's not a bad strategy for getting away from predators. Let gravity do all the work.

I ask you, how could I *not* share such an incredible bounty of hollyhock weevils (_Rhopalapion longirostre_)?!
