This is a seed weevil, possibly Apion stolidum on an ox-eye daisy. The length of the nose is pretty impressive for such a small weevil, the total length is about 2mm of which 25% is the nose!
Welcome to my blog
I am an exclusive photographer with istockphoto and produce a wide variety of images. Recently I have been experimenting with high magnification photography of insects, plants and anything else I find that looks interesting up close.
I am a first year undergraduate studying Biology at the University of Oxford. I have a particular interset in entomology and enjoy exploring the huge diversity of insect species in the UK.
I aim to use this blog to share some of the photos I have been taking which I find particularly interesting, I try to do a little bit of research on the subjects of my photos but am far from an expert. if I have made any big errors or misidentified something, please leave a comment or send me an email to correct me .

Mosquito
A nasty little biting mosquito. I had several bites after being out for about an hour, I think the cold, damp weather brought them out.
