side-front-top view of a slightly colorful little beetle. Its surface is dark grey but it is almost completely covered in a pattern of black, white and orange scales which are quite long and thin so they appear like short hair. Its head is slightly elongated downwards and mostly covered in white scale-hairs and has quite big black compound eyes. It sits on green flowers of grass and the background is the blue sky with blurry green branches.

It's #weevilwedneday again :)
So here is a pretty little fungus weevil: Dissoleucas niveirostris
Sitting on some grass near deadwood in a mixed (mainly beech) forest. It sat still enough for me to combine two pictures handheld for extra DOF
