Nice caption
I knew it had to be one of yours, Ron!

 
Thanks, Hannah
Don't count out Robert Lord Zimlich, either. He posted a bug with the caption My Leaf Foot.

 
I laughed out loud!
A very clever title indeed. Oh, and thanks for mentioning Robert's too -- I missed that one (also extremely funny!).

Trichobaris compacta
most likely, but Ch O'Brien always warns me that I need a sideview of this one to be sure. On Datura?

 
i'm sure it is
neat weevil, Ron!

 
Thanks, both.
My best weevil shot to date. (It helps when they're groggy.)
