A portrait of a broadnosed weevil, fairly common here.

f20, 1/200, diffused flash, 90D, 90mm Tamron +Raynox250, cropped to square.

Though not an aesthetically pleasing subject by any stretch of the imagination, hope its an interesting close-up view. Comments are welcomed.

The details are excellent as is the composition. Looks like the weevil is walking into your lens - make a vivid impression.

Good to see one of my enemies in close-up, Darren! Weevils and I are fighting over my Clematis! Amazing detail.
