 Hi,

I have photographed this weevil in April, in a deciduous forest, 20km west of Paris.
About 5mm long.
I guess this is a Curculionidae but it is possible to go further, to the genus or species?
Thanks for your help!

 Hi, seems to be one of the Apionidae - do you remember the plant?

 Thanks Eric, the plant is a common bluebell I think.

 Reminds me more of Involvulus caeruleus (Rhynchitidae) [but I'm no expert on beetles!]

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

pjt - just send the post and attached image. Do not preview thread, as this will lose the link to the image,

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
