Tiny weevils - Rhopalapion longirostre - Male Female
Colrain, Franklin County, Massachusetts, USA
July 10, 2004
Size: 2mm?
This can be frassed, of course; I was just wondering if this could be identified any further than family. They're on a flowerbud that I think is cinquefoil (Potentilla), but maybe something else in Rosaceae.

yes... despite.
dozens and dozens of photos in copula i see on the web (mosly from Europe, where no lookalike anthonomines exist) reassure me that this is it; just search 'longirostre images'

not sure even of family -- prob. Apioninae [antennae!]
don't frass yet -- i'm a bit intrigued. The plant can't be a Malvaceae, you sure?
[added] Rhopalapion longirostre

Malvaceae
Yes, that had started to dawn on me when I posted the second pic. Thanks again!
