Small metallic weevil - Temnocerus aureus
Copyright © 2009 Ken Schneider

Small metallic weevil - Temnocerus aureus
Huddart Park, San Mateo County, California, USA
February 1, 2009
Size: 2.5 mm
I collected this small metallic weevil by sweeping a young conifer tree. The antennae don't appear elbowed in this photo for some reason? The specimen is quite brightly metallic golden in color, although this photo doesn't show it too well. Additional photos can be added from specimen if necessary...
