Europe's largest weevil. Happily having a late afternoon snack on his food plant, butterbur. This is a truly wonderful insect.

You have some nice detail in that set Ed. Well done.

The voices in my head may not be real, but they come up with some great ideas.

Hi Meena

Gosh, this is a thread from the dead!

This weevil is found in spring in Central Europe. The food plant, butterburr is widespread and typically found close to mountain streams. The site I took these shots, I can guarantee to find this weevil and many others every year.

Hope this helps.
