Found this still unidentified weevil on a very somall flower. Didn't realize they were this tiny (about 3/16" max).
Any help with ID appreciated.

A Robber with its lunch. Not the best shot, but an interesting one. First one I've seen.

    Lovely series Gary.
    The weevil looks a bit like a flower weevil except the ones I get are all black.
    Congrats on the robber fly - you are one ahead of me there :)
    Intereting lighting on the hover shot- odd but I like it .

    Hank, it's the 100mm with a 1.4 TC for all these shots today and yesterday. You're right down the road from me. Nice to see another nutmegger.
