Strange Textury Weevil - Cryptorhynchus fuscatus
Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
July 28, 2009
Size: 6 mm
This odd weevil was hanging out on the brick under my flood lights last night, trying to blend in. I think it was its shadow that gave it away.

Cryptorhynchinae, maybe?

Excellent
Thank you! I'm amazed I got close. I still have it - hoping to get an unrolled shot or two still.

Well rats
I checked the container this morning and don't see it in there. I thought the openings were too small for it to fit through, but it appears I was wrong. Now I have a weevil loose in the house! Wonder if I'll find it.

I'll have to keep an eye out for another (and that one too!).
