Time to show the invertebrates a little love. I spotted this cool little weevil beetle while hiking in the cloud forest of Ecuador. Not sure of the exact species, but always nice to be able to use natural light in combination with my macro lens (more often than not, I’m using the macro to photograph frogs and other small creatures at night).

Are these the little buggers that get into flour and hard tack that sailors used to eat? He looks like an anteater a bit. I think he is cute. Maybe he has made an appearance in Star Wars!
Great job showing us the beauty of all God’s creatures, Sean! Please think twice before squishing any bug. They are little people, too! Carry them outside on a piece of paper if you find them in your house and let them do their jobs…:-)
I really appreciate your amazing macro photography but I just can’t appreciate this beetle (or any other). I hope I never see one (in person, that is).

I like that his antennae are out on the end of his snout!
