    Hi John........tell me something about those Weevels
    Are they covered in pollen? or is that their natural colouring.
    Every shot you have posted of them so far they are covered in Pollen,
    but I am not sure if they have a distinct colouring that looks that way headscratch.gif

    I do like those Weevels :D .... Skippy

    A lot of people confuse hoverflies with bees -but look at the eyes...

    Weevils DO look like ant eaters -first thing I thought when I saw one! :D

    Actually, in your second shot, weevil looks like a puppy dog with floppy ears. :D
