[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is
- Apoderus coryli
a small member of the snout beetle family
- Curculionidae
The beetle is found from May to September usually on hazel bushes (Corylus avellana) and occasionally also on alder and birch trees.
Body length: about 7 mm.
I found this curious and strangely looking weevil in a small nature reserve (Großer Fallstein).

- natural morning light
- ISO 400
- hand-held

Thank you Peter for this very good macro, alain

Great macro Peter - excellent sharpness and a very good perspective, a sense of what it must be like in a bug's world, with that unfathomable drop beyond the leaf's edge.
Well done
