Iris Weevil / Weisspunktiger Schwertlilienruessler / Mononychus punctumalbum

Seen closely, actually sort of cute with that little white dot and their busy interaction. / Aus der Naehe fast niedlich mit diesem kleinen weissen Fleck und dem eifrigen Sozialverhalten.

Well, so much for smelling the flowers.... ;) Nice find & capture!

Well, I am afraid they do not quite behave like polite people in the botanical garden, more like adult libertines on the beach, but in Iris Weevils this is actually cute, as their self-expression is so limited. Anything else they are ever observed at is eat ugly holes into flowers, which is not very cute. :o)
