Acorn weevil - Curculio
Lincoln, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
April 25, 2020
In the fall I filled a jar with red and scarlet oak acorns and Bidens seeds. I left it outside over the winter. Today I found this wandering loose in the jar. Looks like a Curculio larva from the acorns. I gave it a container with some dirt.
