N̶u̶t̶ Acorn Weevil with Hat
C̶u̶r̶c̶u̶l̶i̶o̶ ̶n̶u̶c̶u̶m̶
Curculio glandium
I was pleased to find this impressive looking fellow on the shed door this morning. He seemed to be caught up in some webbing, which was beneficial for me although he was struggling to escape, which made stacking quite difficult. I managed to get three shots which were well aligned, so this is the result.
The spider who's webbing he was caught up in came to have a look, but he was far too much for the little arachnid to handle so he went back into hiding. Eventually I gave him a nudge to help him on his way and he climbed to the top of the door and flew off.
It was only when processing I noticed he was sporting a very elegant looking hat, which looked to be a small stone. I considered cloning it out, but decided it added character so left it in place.
Hope you are looking forward to the weekend. Last bank holiday before Christmas for all UK residents!
