The things I find on the farm!!

These tiny prehistoric looking beetles are Mimic Bark Weevils aka Kurrajong Weevils (Axionicus insignis)…  well camouflaged on the Kurrajong tree.

    While not quite a train of beetles like one species does (yes, I forget which one) they clearly do like to follow the leader.

    Well I recognised them as weevils but, of course, I'd never heard of Mimic Bark Weevils: a most appropriate name. The most persistent weevil I came across in NZ was a rather charming one (I've forgotten its name) but I stepped on one by accident and it was as malodorous as anything I can think of. Fortunately it was outside on the deck.

    Amazing - but most creatures blend in with their surroundings.
