Thanks for unlinking
There was no need to delete the second image, however. I would have been happy to help you cross reference the two specimens.

Unlinked Photo
Thanks Ken:
No biggie. I'm still learning how to navigate around/ operate the BugGuide website. It seemed easiest just to delete the linked shot.
Your reference to a Weevil actually got me pointed in the right direction and my photos seem to closely resemble that of a (Aphrastus taeniatus) [a Broad Nosed Weevil].
Thanks again. I really appreciate all of the BugGuide folks help!

Linking is reserved for different views of the same specimen....
...so these images should be unlinked. You can cross reference them by placing a thumbnail of the weevil into the Remarks section of the Wheel Bug image, if you like.
Thanks.
