Thanks for the I.D mark
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Nice views of this weevil. You could just change the common name from "Unknown spotting" to weevil, until such time as someone might suggest a more specific common name. For any spotting for which you may not know the scientific name, just leave it (scientific name) blank but be sure to "tick" the little box that says "Please help me ID this species." Thanks
Thanks Viv and Nayeli.
Wow i never have seen some like this
