Hi David, a magnificent looking weevil ! These are really good subjects and I used to have a couple of these that would show up now and again but have not seen any for a while now.

Keep them coming, but don't forget to name them

Nice capture.

[Rita]

So that's what they look like. You caught some nice detail.

Glad someone likes these insects. They are particularly distructive in the garden and difficult to get rid of. Nice image though.

[Kaye Leggett]

Good shot of a very unwelcome wee beastie.

Nice shot David - Thanks. I searched UK weevel. Seems we do have some and most aren't that harmful and found a ID site that is likely to be of use.

Interesting to see you used a 65mm FL lens even on full frame.
