This fellow was attracted to a piece of Orange left on the lawn.

Yup you guessed right, it's a weevil.
I like how they play dead when you touch them sometimes.
I found one on the window ledge in the bathroom the other day.

Picked it up to put it outside, and it pulled its legs in as if it was dead,
so I put it outside and off it walked

They are great little critters to photograh Obecanobe ... Skippy
