Ceutorhynchus obstrictus – This has to be one of the smallest weevils I have ever seen at around 3 mm (1/8 in) long. Double-click on image to enlarge.

What an interesting structure: antennae on the snout – if that is what it is.

Yes, you are right, Anne. It is called the snout, or rostrum, and those are its bent antennae.

Probably about the same size as its namesake seed. 🙂 I’ve always got a chuckle out of the weevil snout. I wonder how sensitive their smellers are if they do indeed smell with their snouts and not the antennae. Certainly they must smell potential mates’ pheromones.

They are very curious weevils with their long snouts, almost like elephants in miniature 🙂

It’s a wee weevil — but from what I read, not a terribly evil weevil. Such a nice photo, Pete.

Haha! 🙂 Thank you, Linda 🙂 It was the only decent shot I could get trying to get the main details reasonably in focus at this microcosmic level.
