  1. Happy #WeevilWednesday, a new generation of evening primrose weevils have chewed their way out of the flower buds and I can't get enough of them (as you can probably tell)

  2. it's #WeevilWednesday, here's _Acanthoscelidius acephalus_ which I find on evening primrose. I'm obsessed with how their faces look like "^|^" from a certain angle when they have their heads tucked in!!

    *edit: corrected specific epithet to right grammatical gender, how embarrassing, never toot before coffee folks. I can't believe no one called me on this

  3. among everything else, it's #WeevilWednesday.

    (Found on evening primrose, probably _Acanthoscelidius acephalus_, one of the minute seed weevils, subfamily Ceutorhynchinae. As soon as you disturb the plant they have the annoying habit of waddling to the tip of the nearest leaf and jumping with surprising strength off into the void.)
