Guess I'm not the only one in the area puzzled by these weird looking bugs that are dead/alive everywhere. On Nextdoor other people were talking about them and someone identified them as weevils! Yechhh. Course I know nothing about weevils, apparently this species is common, only causes minimal damage to foliage, are not dangerous, won't kill you and so on. But cute they are not. I got a close up of one I pulled out of the water and yes it was miraculously alive. After posing for the portrait he got flicked back into the water. Otherwise calm-ish day, now that I am no longer obsessed about the stupid bugs I tried to take pics of the water fowl I encountered on this trip.
