Doing it in Style, Pt. 3 - _TNY_5909

The meadow cranesbill weevil (Zacladus geranii) has meadow cranesbill as well as other cranesbill species as their host plants.

 

This pair, which I found on Midsummer's day in the Paradiset nature reserve are in the process of securing the next gereration - on a cranesbill of course.
