Blueberry Blue - _TNY_5451

I believe this tiny weevil is a species known as Magdalis duplicata though the angle makes it hard to make a conclusive ID. I saw one in the same place a couple of days before and it was more confidently identified as a M. duplicata.

 

This one was shot at a whopping 4.8:1 magnification and for scale, that one is sitting on the outer part of a leaf on a bilberry (what Europeans think of as blueberries) shrub.
