It's #WeevilWednesday! Post your weevils!

A new-to-me species I've found on separate occasions on lamb's quarters (_Chenopodium album_): _Cosmobaris scolopacea_, the beet petiole borer. To me they look like if a varied carpet beetle (_Anthrenus verbasci_) were a weevil.

Beets (_Beta_) are in the same family, Amaranthaceae, so I guess that makes sense. BugGuide says these weevils also feed on ragweed (_Ambrosia_): https://bugguide.net/node/view/236113

Oxybasis chenopodioides (el blet roig) es fa sobretot als fangs salins nitròfils de les maresmes litorals. Però també apareix dispersament per altres ambients: aquí, per exemple, als fangs emergits de les vores de l'embassament de Sau.
