Happy Feet! - _TNY_1752

The Apionidae weevils are quite small, this Apion frumentarium is the largest species of the genus here at a still 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, intensly red speck on the green leaves.

 

The way the red appears to be warmer inside looks really cool in my opinion - and also the feet are kinda cute in this shot. Snoot and boots!
