Looking For Love - _TNY_1821

If you really need to find weevils during the summer (in Sweden) - I would say the easiest way would be to go looking for this one. The medow cranesbill weevil (Zacladus geranii) as the name suggests, really like the meadow cranesbill, but also the woodland geranium (Geranium sylvaticum), known here as "midsommarblomster" - the midsummer flower. They are quite common and looking into them it is not unusual to see the tiny black weevils hanging out and eating and looking for a mate there.

 

For a shot of a couple which had found each other on a nearby flower, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52626134106/
