  1. I could've saved this for the next #WeevilWednesday but I gotta post it now. A female hollyhock weevil (_Rhopalapion longirostre_) slowly bores into a hollyhock flower bud. Wait for the second one to come walking around so you can see the full length of the snoot.

  2. It's #WeevilWednesday! Here's a female hollyhock weevil (_Rhopalapion longirostre_).

    My usual hollyhock weevil spot has been blocked off by construction hoarding for weeks and they only just removed it, so I was finally able to glory in these beauties that live just a couple blocks away.

  3. It's #WeevilWednesday, post 'em if you got 'em.

    This weekend I was thrilled to find the first hollyhock weevils (_Rhopalapion longirostre_) of the year! The ones with the loooooong snoots are the females.

  5. An older pic for this #WeevilWednesday, because recently some more knowledgeable folks on iNat corrected my ID! This little fellow is not a curculionid but a brentid in subfamily Apioninae, _Stenopterapion meliloti_.

    A female hollyhock weevil, _Rhopalapion longirostre_. (The females are the ones with the long snoots, for digging into hollyhock buds.) There's a park with hollyhocks right near me so in season I can go and see these cuties whenever I want! And I do.

  7. I ask you, how could I *not* share such an incredible bounty of hollyhock weevils (_Rhopalapion longirostre_)?!
