Weevil ! - 08-19-2011, 07:53 PM

Critique: NC:

Found this guy/gal in my backyard. This one was skiddish and I had to sneak up from under a leaf. I remember chopping and picking cotton amongst these guys long ago.

Canon 5D II; f/4; 1/40 sec; 100 mm macro; natural light.

John, Garret, Carrie, Jim, James,

Thanks for the comments. This one is a first for me. Never had one living in my backyard before (and know it). Interesting creature for sure; you can see how it would drink a plant dry with a straw like that!
