Sphenophorus sp - Sphenophorus venatus
North Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA
May 15, 2015
I think I’ve got this one keyed out to Sphenophorus venatus using the key in the Vaurie paper (1) but, as always, I could be way off.
I’d appreciate confirmation or correction of the ID. TIA for the help.

glad you liked it
and thanks for the ID. If every insect I tried to photograph was as obliging as this weevil, getting photos would be a lot easier.
