Went on a nature walk last week and I saw so, so many narrow-collared snail eating beetles - also a past tense wooly bear, rip

anyways gaze upon my beebles

when was the last time you saw a weevil this big

The largest weevil in North America, the palmetto weevil (Rhyncophorus cruentatus) lays eggs in the crowns of palms, where the grubs feed and often kill their host in the process.

In Florida it’s considered a major pest due to its habit of destroying ornamental palm trees, but native palmettos and sabal palms (the weevils’ natural hosts) are rarely harmed unless they’re already stressed or damaged. It’s mostly date palms and other exotic species planted along city streets that can’t take the heat and need to be drenched with insecticide to ensure survival.

"oh, humblegrub, how were you able to come up with 50+ favorite bugs off the top of your head?"

it wasn't off the top of my head... I regularly update a 130+ page favorite bugs powerpoint that includes common names, scientific names, pictures, region, and why I love them 😳
