Elongated Bean Weevil "Lixus pulverulentus"

Do you know that feeling when you see an insect that you haven't encountered before and the excitement fills your body with energy and you just can't stop photographing? That's what happened here, the worst part was choosing only one photo to upload ^_^

I do know that feeling, in the birding world it's called a "lifer", the first time you see a species. It's very satisfactory. In this case it's not just new to you, also new to the community, so your feeling is basically shared :)

Note that you don't have to limit yourself to one photo to upload. Whilst you shouldn't upload duplicate or near-identical images, photos from different angles are very much welcome and encouraged. The more angles, the better we collectively describe the species. Posted 3 years ago

Ha - my goal every time I go out these days is to notice/document something I haven't ever before... Some things I'm sure I've 'seen', but it takes more effort to really notice them... The more I do it, the harder it obviously gets, but more rewarding too. My latest fascination is just how many different flies there are out there. They've gone from something that is just annoyingly buzzing around my head to something I'm really taking the time to look at - at least when they'll hold still long enough :).

  That's a good exercise indeed. I'm still new at the game so I think I still have a lot to discover :-D Posted 3 years ago
