A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Gonipterus sp.
A small brown weevil with vice grip and a small white stripe along its back.
A remnant bushland habitat.
This insect got bored with the photo session and suddenly flew away. Some weevils cannot fly at all and I had assumed this was one of them

Love the way they hang on for dear life. Gonipterus sp. ? The one at SA gov site has a similar white stripe from memory.
