Hairy Weevil - Eustenopus villosus

Hairy Weevil - Eustenopus villosus
Folsom Lake, Placer County, California, USA
June 22, 2011
Size: approx. 1 cm
This weevil appears to have longer hairs than most others I have seen on the site. The color pattern resembles others I have seen such as the Alfalfa Weevil, but the long hairs have thrown me off. Thanks!
