My photo
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Colourful Weevils

 



Three different coloured weevils. Just how cool do they look. I saw these all on the same day while walking along the canal. I was really pleased to see these colourful bugs.

  9. I'm guessing they're different species of Weevil.

  10. I love how metallic they look, such pretty colours. Imagine if they made nail polishes based on their colour. That's an idea!

    2. I am sure I have got nail polishes like these, but that would be such a cool idea. The Weevil Collection! Thanks Ivana.

  11. They look like beetles to me, Ananka, the last two being leaf beetles. Perhaps there is common terminology in the UK, but there are structural differences between weevils and beetles, though they are closely related. In any even, great pictures! I am amazed that Tom considers your attraction to the natural world “strange.” What is strange is people who are not attracted to the natural world in all its magnificent life-giving and life-affirming diversity.

    1. They are beetles and known as weevils over here. They come in all shapes, forms and colours! I am used to that over here too. A lot of people think I am odd and weird because I like bugs and crows and nature in general. I'd rather go for a walk in nature than go on holiday or out partying. It is my thing and taking photos of these wonders, just love it. I totally get that David, the natural world is wonderful and amazing :-D

    1. I was very lucky. The bronze and green are the most common. Though there is another version of the green that looks slightly different and a more pastel green colour. Thanks :-D
