nasty looking weevil.
That's not real right? That's a prop you took a picture of.
Spo- I think that they look very cool. I know, I'm funny that way.
RCW- This beetle is very real. I have a small series in my collection from last year. It isn't even the biggest weevil in my collection- however that one comes from the tropics, so it doesn't really count.
Hi. I did some collecting in Arizona a few weeks ago and am working on labeling my specimens. I caught this weevil at Florida Canyon on Aug 11th. Do you know the spp?
Thanks- kandis
kandis - The weevil is in the genus Scyphophorus. I posted the image on BugGuide.net. There was agreement on the genus identification, but it is hard to call this one all the way to the species level.
