I know weevils can be troublesome. They eat plants and can even infest homes…but that snout…it’s so darn cute!
This rhubarb weevil (Lixus concavus) appears to be yellow, however that’s just a powdery coat which can be rubbed off. Underneath is a brown beetle. From the picture, it seems as if it has bored a hole into the stem where it will lay an egg.
I encountered this one on a nearby bike trail. I just love that snout!
