Inner Glow Weevil - _TNY_1747

The Apionidae weevils are quite small, this Apion frumentarium is the largest species we have here at a not-so-massive 3-4 mm in length.

 

It was hanging out in the middle of a bunch of stinging nettles Urtica dioica so I was glad I wasn't wearing shorts when I spotted the tiny red speck on the green leaves.

 

The way the red appears to be warmer inside looks really cool in my opinion.
