These are not to grape vines which is what is in the area I live in.
So once the shot was taken it had to give its life.
I will say this has to be one of the ugliest bug out there in the world.

Interesting looking weevil.
Are they becoming a serious pest on grape vines ?

They are fascinating, not ugly

Lovely capture either way.

LordV I am unsure on if these are becoming a pest but we took it to the Department of Agriculture today.
As these like grape vines and other fruit trees and this is the main industry in my area.
So this way they can do the notification to the growers.

BasAndrew, truly I can't agree with you on this one. I am sticking with ugly.
But thank you both for your comments.
