Nut weevil - Curculio
Copyright © 2009 Beatriz Moisset

Nut weevil - Curculio
Pennypack Restoration Trust, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
October 2, 2009
Size: 7-9mm (Smaller ones 5mm)
One weevil larva emerging from Chinese chestnut. The nut started rocking and the grub wriggled its way out of it. I took a video and then, in a senior moment, deleted it (grrr).
The next day I did a lot better; here is the result.
