      Thanks Christine :o) This was taken in situ with a flash (hence the black background) - lucky to get _any_ detail in focus *rolleyes*. Impossible DOF at this zoom :-/ Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago

        I love the little hairs covering this weevil, especially the ones on the rostrum. It's endearing ;) Posted 7 years ago
