Uploaded: December 09, 2010

Description


In the fall the fully grown acorn weevil larva chews a perfectly round 1/8 inch hole in the side of the nut and emerges.

If you refer to your kids as "grubs" ... you might be an Entomologist

Like the side by side but the emerging shot is my favorite..

I refer to the Grandson as a RUG RAT / Snot Slinger

Happy Shooting

I always see the holes but have never had the pleasure of seeing the grub that caused it...well, I'll be doggoned! (I say that a lot when I come to your corner of BP, Tex!:) And from the Wedding Tree in San Saba, to boot. Another "want-to-go" spot for me - hopefully, you got some shots of it! #9089693

Did you know that Jane Goodall actually named her son "Grub?" I wonder if she was an entomologist.

Both of these are amazingly executed. I'll bet you picked up a whole bunch of acorns and brought them home in the hopes of being able to witness this! You must be an entomologist yourself! #9090887

Great composition Jim! I love nature shots, bugs, critters and the whole package as you know. You are posting some really great finds. BTW, my daughter is a entomologist. She will dig this one. Keep them coming... #9116018
