Early snout beetle This snout beetle has the privilege to be the first beetle I capture on photo this year. Because of the exceptionally cold spring in the Netherlands the nature is just emerging out of it&#039;s winter state and there are still only a few insects walking or flying around.<br />
The quality of this photo is not that good, let&#039;s just say I have kept some room for improvement ;)<br />

Specie might be Dorytomus longimanus, but there is no wiki of that specie.<br />
