Cocklebur weevil (Rhodobaenus quinquepunctatus)

Larose Forest

This is a fairly robust weevil at about 7-8mm, and beautifully patterned and coloured. Most weevils we see are rather dull in appearance, but not this one.

Your super photo makes him look quite handsome ...... but aren't weevils pretty destructive?
