Snout Beetle in Heesch, the Netherlands This looks like a snout beetle to me, it is about 1-3mm in size, has a short/absent snout, and is black/brownish in color. Trouble is, there's so many species of them, that matching it is hard. Heesch,Macro,Phyllobius pyri,Phyllobius sp. Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro

  1. There is a subfamily of broad-nosed weevils (Entiminae), it's probably one of them, but it's really hard to identify. It is interesting how it reflects the light, glowing in different colours. Posted 12 years ago
