I caught what I think is a brown widow wrapping up a still-living breakfast inside a yellow rose this morning. Does anyone know what the insect in the foreground is called? I feel like a rube when I don't know what to call something in a caption.

Thanks, guys. I think a weevil is exactly what it is. Now I can change my Flickr caption to be a little more specific.

I like the oncoming drama with the spider bokeh of the first shot
