Strange critter

This week my post features a critter I've never seen before. Granddaughter, Eryn found it in the garden and showed it to me. 

Although it resembles an elephant beetle which doesn't occur in Africa, I found this critter most exotic. And to date: a no name beetle. 


 With a bowed proboscis, this beetle certainly resembles an elephant

I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here

HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL

  1. What a wonderful beetle; beetles have so much variety, some are funny, some cute, and some fierce looking. Today on Amazon I posted a review of "The World Is Great and I Am Small: A Bug's Prayer for Mindfulness". There are lots of bug photos in it.

  7. Quite alien to my eyes, but it's an entirely different part of the world, of course.

  8. It looks metallic so I thought it was a pin or something. Interesting beetle for sure and I can see the resemblance with an elephant. Maybe someone could identify it.

  9. Crazy looking thing - I think its some form of weevil - I think that big trunk is a give away!
