Nut Weevil - Curculio sp.

Robust weevil that was dark brown with pale mottling. Rostrum was curved, long, and thin with antennae set midway.

Habitat: Attracted to a light at night in a rural area.

Maybe Curculio obtusus, but I'm not sure.

  I love weevils. The position of their antennae on their "noses" makes them look so nerdy, but in a totally cute way. Posted 7 years ago
