Red-Legged - _TNY_2561

I originally found this lesser pine weevil (Hylobius pinastri) on the white wooden railing around my mother-in-law's patio - but hoping to find a more intersting backdrop, I picked it up.

 

I ended up with it on some very magenta Geranium and I think it worked out pretty nicely.

 

This species looks very much like the large pine weevil (H. abietis) - but the factg that this one has red legs is a dead giveaway for it being H. pinastri.
