Rhodobaenus tredecimpunctatus
Just happened to catch a glimpse of this weevil, Ironweed curculio, under a Sunflower leaf on Antelope Island.
First one of these I've ever seen. It was quite cooperative and seemed to enjoy having its picture taken. This one
has a battle scar but it's attractive nonetheless. © Carol Davis, 9-3-2009
