Weevil Party

I have a lone Brittle Bush, Encelia faranosa, in my front yard. I noticed the flowers were packed with these tiny weevils, a species of Smicronyx from what I can sleuth. Good times were apparently had by all.

I thought they were little bees at first - as a sequel to yesterday's shot :)

[Ramesh Chand]

Yes....nice gathering......good shot...

[John Guerin]

Not so good for the flower it would seem! Nice capture nevertheless.

[❀ Lynn]

Weevils wobble and the don't fall down? lol. cool shot. They must be pretty small to have so many on the flower!

[Livia]

There are so many of them on one flower! And they look so busy! Cool capture. 8)
