this one goes out to the barista at my main drawing haunt who always gets excited when he sees me drawing weevils
Nut & Acorn Weevil (Genus Curculio), taken November 9, 2025, in Georgia, US
A silly weevil exploring the exciting and new expanse of my fingers while I try to trick it into standing still for a picture! As you can probably tell, it did not sit still. Unlike other weevils, these guys tend to be very active, always going somewhere. Their target nuts will only be available for so long before they either go bad or fall and are buried, so I understand the rush. I can respect a beetle who walks with purpose!

A cute little weevil experiencing the big world around it! I found a couple of these silly guys while hiking on this day, and they were definitely the highlight of the trip. It's a bit late in the season, but there's still time for female weevils to find acorns to drill a hole into and lay eggs. The weevil larvae feed on the meat of the acorn, and the acorn shell provides them protection. That totally beats having to wander around in search of food!

Quite the weevily weevil perching on a fallen branch! This individual was quite substantial, being larger than most weevils I see, and of course having a very long "nose". Most of the weevils in this genus look very similar, so I couldn't figure out what species this was, but I presume this is a type of acorn weevil due to its proximity to oak trees. I hope it found either a mate or some nice acorns to bore into after I left!
Found this beauty in my room today! Not too sure why or how it got inside, but I’m glad I got some nice angles. Clearly in the Curculio genus of weevil, but not too sure beyond that

Sometimes classical studies are deeply silly, in a dark sort of way. Finals studying is terrible, but maybe worth it, just for this sentence.
