Is this a Weevil?

**Scallops** · 30th January 2010, 07:24 AM

Weevils come in over 100 different varieties! All different shapes and colours; It's a Weevil I'd bet, without further piccies or actually seeing the critter..

All of these are pictures are actually Weevils - abdomen is the right shape to be like this first one perhaps....as can be seen - abdomen can be thin, can be fat.

It's more the overall morphology that makes me guess at it's origins.

But they can look very different too...

This one is an Indonesian Red....

Yet another species...

When eating that meal, DeeJay, it must have been quite some dilemma - choosing between the lesser of 2 weevils!

If you were in the US you would be rich now...

Well, we scored 3 iced coffee's. Near enough

People worry too much in what the see. But if they knew how many creepy crawlys they eat in their life time whilst asleep.
Your mouth is open sometimes, a crawly goes past and enters and your bodies reaction is to swallow. Some one did a study on this.
I hope this doesn't disturb anyone's sleep tonight.

And you wonder why you gain weight even though your on a diet. Here's the answer

So could it be the lesser of two weevils?
