22/07/2026 - Evening walk after a mind numbing day at work. I've no idea how I've ended up in a job working with humans. They are very annoying, all of them, pretty much all the time. My walk was a welcome relief. Just me and a lovely green weevil to chat to. I think it's a green immigrant leaf weevil.

The future is bright, like the sunlight and this weevil's mind.
It's Sirocalodes sp., on its way to its next host plant —> almost always Fumaria. This weevil is only 2-2.6 mm long.

For #WeevilWednesday , I heartily recommend the documentary film Heart of an Oak. Acorn weevils are featured extensively. There's no narration, and yet it still manages to be humorous.
No animals are killed on screen, but weevils are shown at the end of their life cycle.

Edit: my bad, a kingfisher does catch a meal 🤐

#WeevilWednesday: some people have been confused about how female hollyhock weevils (_Rhopalapion longirostre_) use their long snouts, so here you go. Her mouthparts are at the end of the snout. She chews a tunnel down into the heart of the flowerbud. Then she turns around, extends her ovipositor (at the end of her abdomen), and lays eggs down the hole. The larvae have a safe place to grow, with plenty of food!

Seven families of beetles! And I just realized it's after midnight. Having a real bug light is addicting! The difference is amazing. The wall of the sales office that is illuminated on one side by a standard lightbulb has hardly any insects, compared to the number diversity attracted to my two small lights.
Before I go to bed, here's the cutest little weevil that hung out for a while.
Edit to add: this looks like Filbert Weevil/California Acorn Weevil, Curculio occidentis, according to iNaturalist.#Weevil #WeevilWednesday #EveryDayIsWeevilWednesday #beetles

#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:

Last weekend I observed a pair Tychius meliloti for a few hours on Melilotus albus. I wanted to see where exactly they choose to lay the eggs. It was very intense since the sun was burning and the situation was too hot. In the end they seemed to prefer some privacy, so I left them alone.

Good morning, it's #WeevilWednesday! Tragically and inexplicably, the patch of hollyhocks in the park near me is devoid of hollyhock weevils (_Rhopalapion longirostre_) so far this year. God knows it's not because anyone takes care of that bit of park. Luckily I know of a few other gardens in the neighbourhood with weevil-ridden hollyhocks right by the sidewalk.
Here you can see the difference in length between the typical male and female snouts. The females' long snouts help them bore deep into the flower buds to lay eggs.
