Another Black Palmetto Weevil - Rhynchophorus cruentatus - Male
Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida, USA
December 5, 2005
This picture shows 2 things:
1)The snout is broken, which means this poor guy can't eat
2)The snout is also bumpy, in contrast to other specimens I have seen.

Sean,
Great close up of those unusual looking antennae. The ends look like cute little baby shoes.
