Greetings, BugFans,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long-time BugFans know, the BugLady gets a kick out of weevils. She found these cute little Iris weevils (Mononychus vulpeculus<\/em>) recently, scampering around on flowers at the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust\u2019s Cedarburg Environmental Study Area<\/em> (CESA) site (directions to and maps of their properties<\/a>). Obviously, iris weevils are not exclusive to iris \u2013 the BugLady sees them on ox-eye daisy and daisy fleabane (she did find two of them sitting on an iris petal that had tiny holes punched in it, but they were camera shy). Iris weevils were half of an episode about weevils<\/a> that was posted four years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re interested, here’s an episode about another CESA adventure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
