Broad-nosed Weevil - Tanymecus lacaena
Copyright © 2017 John Lampkin

Broad-nosed Weevil - Tanymecus lacaena
Fred and Idah Schultz Preserve, Hillsborough County, Florida, USA
December 3, 2017
Size: 8-9 mm
The weevil here is being pulled down by the antlion larva.
The weevil apparently was then rejected as food by the antlion and ejected back into the trap.
I then "rescued" it to take the face shot and placed it back into the trap.
