A pill-shaped weevil with a short, broad snout and an evenly arched back sits on some rotting wood. It's body is covered by a layer of small thick hairs that for a patchwork of natural tones, mimicking fungus or a lichen.

On a mild New Year's Eve, we traveled to the North Carolina sandhills to hunt for critters. Had to pull bark, but we found them!

#Beetles were most abundant, like this puppy dog of a fungus #weevil. Very cute 🥰
