Acorn Weevil on a live oak acorn. This little buddy was on the same acorn for 2 days straight, I guess he or she had some serious drilling to do.
Both genders feed by drilling into the acorn, and the females will lay eggs inside.
Help me out here, because I’d love to know. It was on the inside of the window, scrounging up dead bugs in the window sill to snack on.
Quite the looker, I put him outside afterwards.
Here’s some in-yer-face stuff for you. These are all from the last couple weeks. If anyone has some glorious insight as to what the unidentified guys are, please let me know. I spent way too long on BugGuide dot net, but lost patience after a lack of luck.
