I spotted this at Table Rock while working. I brought it home, photographed and released. It was the first time I've seen a weevil this size.
Thanks a lot everyone for all the wonderful comments and thanks Yasser for sotd!
Congratulations on spotting of the day, Dan! This weevil truly deserved it! Wonderful placement against the wood!
Sweet! Congratulations and very well deserved! Love the series and it is such a cool find!
I grow a lot of Rhubarb. Not commercially,organically and just for fun, and I like it in pie and what-not. Never saw a Weevil like this before here in New Jersey, but I'll be on the lookout now!
