Cionus scrophulariae (Figwort Weevil)

This guy was tiny! this is at 4:1 I would have missed him/her if it wasn't for the sharp contrast on the pink flower.

OK, I think I have worked it out. They have a pair on antennae but this one seems to have lost one which is why it looks rather odd. Either that or it did not come out on the photo. Still think it is great! Posted 10 years ago

  Thats correct Claire, they have two antennae. This one does have both but due to the fstop/depth of field and point of focus you can't really see it. You can if you look closely :) Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago
