big steppy
For #WeevilWednesday, I think this little buddy from High Park is an Asiatic Oak Weevil (_Cyrtepistomus castaneus_).

#DailySpiderPic × #WeevilWednesday: this _Parasteatoda_ cobweb spider has captured some kind of broad-nosed weevil (subfamily Entiminae). Note the brood of recently hatched spiderlings clustered around the papery-looking egg sacs at the top of the frame!
RIP weevil but spiders gotta eat too.

#WeevilWednesday: I suspect this little fellow I found under a dead leaf in the strawberry patch is a strawberry root weevil (_Otiorhynchus ovatus_). Very sus. :thonking:

More #WeevilWednesday because I can't resist: it's also a superb time to find the stunning green immigrant leaf weevils (_Polydrusus formosus_) on young willow shoots.

You know what day it is. It's #WeevilWednesday. Post 'em if you got 'em.
I think this is _Barypeithes pellucidus_, a. k. a. the hairy spider weevil. Found in the garden snacking on a dandelion stem with its snoot covered in pollen.

A very autumnal #WeevilWednesday to you all! Got weevils to share?

Anyway, #InternationalRockFlippingDay finds: a vine weevil (*Otiorhynchus* of some kind), and a bryobiine spider mite, see e.g. *Petrobia*.

Happy #WeevilWednesday! Here's a little fella I met down by the lake the other day.

It's #WeevilWednesday, do you know where your weevils are?
Met this black vine weevil (_Otiorhynchus sulcatus_ on a late-night walk where I didn't have any of my camera stuff, but I just had to get a pic! Very well-behaved and good-natured about briefly being abducted by an alien.

From last night's walk, two common broad-nosed weevils, an _Otiorhynchus_ and a _Polydrusus_.

Currently down by the lake one can find good numbers of beautiful _Polydrusus_ weevils (whether _P. formosus_ or _P. impressifrons_ I'm not sure) in the very freshest willow leaves.

"Lemon, it's #WeevilWednesday."
Likely a _Sitona_ species, found in High Park.

You deserve a weevil. Happy #WeevilWednesday.
(_Polydrusus_ sp., one of the most common weevils I find—I'm certainly not complaining!)

You know what day it is. That's right. It's #WeevilWednesday. Post 'em if you got 'em.
Asian oak weevils (_Cyrtepistomus castaneus_) are not as showy as the sparkly green _Polydrusus_, but the subtle green-blue iridescence of their scales complements their warm brown shell very attractively. Found recently in High Park's oak savannah.

#BREAKING: for the first time this season I have my own weevil for #WeevilWednesday. This clumsy guy fell over at Christie Pits but he's fine now. Perhaps one of the _Sitona_ clover weevils?
Wishing everyone a weevil-worthy Wednesday!

Happy #WeevilWednesday! I am out of my own weevil pictures so I trawled #iNaturalist.

Happy #WeevilWednesday!
A Philippine weevil last seen 100 years ago, _Metapocyrtus bifoveatus_, has been refound despite only a few percent of the original rainforest on its island remaining.

I'm so excited that I have something to share for #WeevilWednesday. This broad-nosed weevil, found in a bunch of snowberries, had a delightfully subtle pink/green iridescence. Upon discovery it tragically died of fright but revived after a few minutes.

#WeevilWednesday: Took a photo of this black vine weevil (_Otiorhynchus sulcatus_) late the other night. The next afternoon, I saw it had fallen prey to the common house spider (_Parasteatoda tepidariorum_) living nearby. Press F to pay respects.
