And I actually remembered to write down their names this time

Found today while gathering acorns (swamp white oak). How adorable is this? I love her little feet, and the way she pivots around her proboscis, fascinated by how far her head rotates… Curculio sp. (if anyone can ID to species, please add!)

Hercules beetle, my beloved 💕

A Weevil (Curculionidae) with waxy decorations produced from its cuticle as a camouflage strategy. Some weevil species produce a waxy secretion from glands in their cuticle which is used as part of a camouflage strategy. This waxy coat can assume some bizarre shapes and orientations but does nothing to slow down or restrict the weevil’s movement. by Sinobug (itchydogimages) on Flickr.
