A pretty Figwort #Weevil, Cionus scrophulariae, on #Figwort in Plymouth and some puparia which I guess are this species as there are lots of Weevils and lots of puparia #Insects #Beetles

Think Cionus nymph on Figwort leaf. Have seen C scophulariae on the plant.

Cocoons for, probable, #Figwort #weevils, Cionus scrophulariae, in Plymouth today.
Photo taken January 4, 2025, near Beegum Gorge, Shasta County, Northern California of what appears to be dried California Figwort. If this was/is Figwort, then it is a medicinal plant. I just thought it looked cool as I was watching the sun rise. #figwort #NativePlants #NativeAmericanMedicine
