  Merci Claude, somehow I'm always having trouble with Attelabidae/Rhynchitidae to get the focus right on the moment that their posture is such that a lot of the beetle is showing ... frustrating bunch these ;o) Posted 4 years ago

    I've never managed to get a single steady shot of any Rhynchinae so far.
    Hope this year I'll be more lucky... Posted 4 years ago

The Byctiscus betulae

Byctiscus betulae (Linnaeus, 1758) is a Tooth-nosed snout weevil (family Rhynchitidae) known from large parts of the Palaearctic region (from China to Europe). Traditionally the Rhynchitidae were classified as a subfamily in the Attelabidae, but the taxon has been granted full family status as a separate family now.
