Bug of the Day

Smol weev I found on the tip on an elm leaf the other night. Phyllobius oblongus, the brown leaf weevil. Name seems to fit LOL

Bug of the Day

This was obviously some kind of higher level discussion plus social distancing happening at the light the other night LOL.

[Clockwise, from top left: ground beetle (Carabidae family), Podabrus tricosta (also in close up below, because they look so fab!), Perlodid stonefly (prob. Isoperla sp.), and European snout beetle (Phyllobius oblongus).]

Bug of the Day

A European snout beetle (Phyllobius oblongus) I found hiding on the underside of a leaf.

Bad photos of some kind of weevil (I think at least? I may be wrong) we found in our apartment :3

My mother let it go outside.
