Lixus pulverulentus in mating sent on June 15, 2022 (16:10) by MarcoCoppola. 53 comments, 1286 views. [retina]

, 1/250 f/14.0, ISO 100, hand held.

Il Lixus pulverulentus è un coleottero della famiglia dei curculionidi. È un insetto fitofago, sia gli adulti che le larve si nutrono di Asteraceae, Malva e Alcea rosea, piante molto comuni nel mio terreno. La loro particolarità è la testa allungata a forma di proboscide, chiamata rostro, alla cui estremità si trova l'apparato boccale. Come potete vedere in foto, le femmine hanno il rostro più lungo e robusto e lo usano per scavare buchi nei tessuti vegetali per deporre le uova. Foto scattata in piena notte il mese scorso durante una delle mie esplorazioni notturne. Per individuare e fotografare i piccoli animali bisogna conoscere bene la natura, camminare molto e osservare attentamente il terreno e le piante

Thank you very much Ale and Walter, it is always a pleasure to receive your comments.
I was in a difficult position surrounded by branches and could not change angle.
In the mating phase if you do not make noise the animals usually avoid moving or running away so I managed to bring home many valid shots

Shooting in the middle of the night and with these results is not :-D in your experience you necessarily need the flash (with which I have zero practicality) or you can bring home something interesting even with a LED panel and tripod?

Very beautiful image, I did not know this insect with a particular head, you wisely exploited a moment when insects are not interested in those who photograph them.

Thank you very much Roberto, Giovanni and Davide, Mary for the appreciation!

Yes Giovanni and Davide live and feed on mallow leaves. Until last month I also had mallow and I met several of these insects.
As every year in May I collect the flowers and then the plant dries out due to drought. Now the soil is dry in the countryside only my vegetable crops are saved

Beautiful macro and interesting document, well implemented by the accurate and interesting caption; Unfortunately, curculionids are harmful insects, due to their eating and reproductive habits.
Excellent colors and definition, as well as readability.
