The cabbage seedpod (Ceutorhynchus obstrictus) is an invasive of in North America. The most significant damage is caused by the larvae feeding inside the seedpods which results in 5-30% yield losses.

We have big windows overlooking the garden and a table on the outside right underneath it.
There are regularly insects flying against the windows, and the table is giving them a place to recover and me a place to notice them.
Today there was a a new weevil art for me (Larinus turbinatus) on the table, species nr 1005 on my iNaturalist list - which is now moving safely away from the 1000 species mark.
The weevil walked away to safety after we checked whether is was alive.

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

I feel like I am missing a new hashtag...

From my unfortunate first night out blacklighting 3 years ago with my new camera that I had no clue how to use. I took about 300 pictures and got less than five I could show. But look at the snout on this fellow. Some sort of acorn weevil (Curculio sp). If you are shooting in the dark with a digital viewfinder, you need to turn off exposure simulation and make sure your flash can synk...

I found this tiny little beauty on my car windscreen this morning! My insect ID is a bit rusty, but I think it's a green leaf weevil, and it's sitting on my finger for the photograph.

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.
