Snout Beetle - Lepyrus oregonus
Copyright © 2015 Steve McKechnie

Snout Beetle - Lepyrus oregonus
White Fox, Torch River, Saskatchewan, Canada
June 20, 2015
Size: 13 mm
Found this about 10 inches from the ground climbing a wall, very slowly. Shaded north east corner with moss, chickweed, sandy clay.
Reminds me of a beetle I found in Alberta

cool bug, nice pics
...but, sadly, the next step make take years: the genus is a taxonomic mess and in dire need of revision

That's OK
The bugs will be here longer than me.
I'll add another similar critter found two feet from this one, three years ago.
