Black Vine Weevil - Otiorhynchus sulcatus

Black Vine Weevil - Otiorhynchus sulcatus
Nantucket, Nantucket County, Massachusetts, USA
August 4, 2012
Found this weevil hiding on the side of a building at a moth blitz we were doing. I believe it's Otiorhynchus sulcatus, thought it would be interesting to show a Nantucket County record for this European species.

Otiorhynchus sulcatus on Nantucket
I'm currently revising and updating the Nantucket weevil list, and there are records of this species from both Nantucket and Tuckernuck from before 1930.
