haha thermite, I already made that joke somewhere else

Glad someone else sees it

I think it's the lesser of the two weevils.

does it have a hard shell for a body?

i came across one of them when i was living at milton years ago

no idea what it is.

Maybe it's a hermit type animal living inside a peanut?

yeh thats a weevil :) cool pic

If you've got an opened bag of flour, make sure you sift it from now on. That's the most likely source of a weevil, and there's probably more than one.

Maybe it's a hermit type animal

nope, no relation of mine and I live in teh intarwebs

cool closeup pic btw! :D

+1

it appears you live in a vermin infested hell hole?

i came across one of them when i was living at milton years ago

Did it drown? I hope you wiped up after yourself.

It looks like some kind of insect, possibly a bug.

the first pic made me think it was covered in sesame seeds and was some kind of cake

Still think theres no Aliens ?

i for one welcome our new Weevil Lords.

yeah mad props for the pic

there is no chance I'd get close enough to take that photo.... I am a big girl when it comes to spiders and creepy crawly's!!!

I am still not convinced it is a weevil. Although there are some weird looking weevils out there, like this S&M one

at first glace I thought that was a closeup of him on a nipple. Then I looked at it proper.

Those are incredibly awesome pictures.

But I have no idea what it is.

Boll weevil why dont you get out of your home
He said Im comfortable here I dont wanna move I dont wanna leave
I said boll weevil get right out of your home

Not a bad pic but it's clearly out of focus. (the first one)

That's correct. He kept walking and it was a very small DOF

clearly out of focus

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Got it identified. It's an Elephant Weevil

OMG

It walked to the tip of a leaf, open its wings and flied away.

Flew you morons. Flew

Fly you fools! Fly!

Actually Kat, I think flied is also correct.
