Cylindrocopturus adspersus
3/16 inch
I found this little weevil on a sunflower on Antelope Island. They may be tiny but they do horrific
damage to sunflower crops. Check out this site at NDSU for extensive information on this
destructive species. © Carol Davis, 8-20-2010
This is the first of these I ever found. It was nestled in a tiny sunflower leaf
at Promontory Point, Utah. © Carol Davis 8-1-2010
These two were partying underneath a sunflower leaf on Antelope Island. I turned the leaf over
for a better shot but it was difficult to shoot because these two kept moving around. I finally
turned the leaf back over and they just kept on whoopin' it up. © Carol Davis, 8-20-2010
