Weevils are a familiar sight in our garden, especially amongst some of the succulent plants, which they love to feast on. For years the only weevil known to me was the wheat or granary weevil - so, imagine my surprise when I discovered that there are more than 40 000 species of weevils.
I spotted the weevil walking along the paving in our backyard. It must have felt threatened at some stage as it feigned death for a few minutes before taking off again.
Sigh! What amazing detail in such a tiny insect! You have taken a masterful photograph.
