A back view of the large (about 1 inch) weevil shown in the previous photo. I know that not everyone finds weevils attractive, but I do!! Thanks to Bug Guide, I now know that this is a thistle weevil in the Genus Cleonis (not Lixus as I'd thought), but same subfamily (Lixinae). According to Bug Guide, this species was introduced into North America sometime in the early 20th century.
