Large pine weevil

Thanks you very much for dropping in PerHoffmannOlsen. I appreciate you searching further. If it can be of any help I have seen quite a few more of these in the area of spotting, an area where some pine trees are being felled.

Hi Daniele,

As the owner of insects.at im pretty sure that it is not the Hylobius abietis.

In the moment i can't tell what it is, but i will return.

Thank you Jacob! It was slow moving and made a very well behaved subject :-)

I love the last photo! It looks like it is trying to grab onto you as it is falling! Nice shots!

williefromwi, Sergio and Mayra, thanks for your comments!

Great capture!

Weevils are cool.

It is most certainly a Weevil, and it looks very much like the photo in your link. I would suggest they are the same Weevil.

I think I may have found it...

Thanks for your comment freelancing. I have been looking at some local resources but still haven't found it...

Definitely a weevil - but bugguide.net will not show it since they only cover bugs in North America.

Thank you Lars!

Outstanding series, Daniele

Thanks Satyen!

Nice series of a lovely bug!

Thanks Atul!

lovely series !

Thanks Eulalia and Cindy! I have looked into weevils but so far haven't found one with matching size or pattern...

Beautiful series of a weevil!

It is the family of weevils: http://bugguide.net/index.php?q=search&a...
