A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
At 12:15 p.m. in the afternoon, I went outside. I spotted a small insect, walking very slowly, around the front walkway, near the right wall, about two feet from the front door. This insect, was about one fourth of an inch long. This insect, had six, thick, black and purple legs. This insect, had a long snout, and two antennae. The colors of this insect, was: black, brown, and some type of purple. Weevil: Family Brentidae: Brentidae is a cosmopolitan family of primarily xylophagous beetles,also known as "straight-snouted weevils". They are among the families of weevils, that have non-elbowed antennae, and tend to be elongate and flattened. Family Brentidae, are primitive weevils.
