Weevils wobble but

[Graham]

They do fall down, well, that is the question really, one I don`t know the answer to.
I found this little weevil this morning will cleaning around a swimming pool and I just could`nt resist to pop it into a container for a photo shoot.
I can get this ID down to Curculio.sp but thats it.
I have a sheet of glass painted black on one side so I only get a single reflection and this is what this Weevil is on.
Here`s a couple of photo`s of it.

Nice photo, do you think this is the same species?

I think Andy Johnson also photographed this species last year, saying that I don't think it is that common, I only saw it once.

 

[Graham]

Yes looks the same but not knowing weevil species I could be wrong.

 

[Deleted member 3428]

Yes it is the same, Curculio nucum (nut weevil). Wonderfuls photos.

 

[green ant]

Imagine if they were cat size, they would make an awesome pet.
