Eucalyptus weevil outstretched

Gonipterus sp.

Description:

I'm outta here! This weevil has had enough of posing for the camera. The middle pair of legs are raised, I wonder why that might be?

Habitat:

Found on eucalyptus. in suburban park. I guess its gone home.

Notes:

They do not often fly. Some beetles, including weevils have lost the ability to fly. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/208... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/220...
