[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This white weevil - I'd be glad if someone identifies exactly - is a nuisance to daisies, marigolds. It munches off the edges of leaves to make the plant look awful. If someone approaches the plant, it crawls to the underside of the leaf. If touched, if falls off to the ground rather than fly [it can fly] to escape. The 'shield' for the wings is quite hard. I did not spray any chemical to control it, but when I did, they were a nuisance. They seemed to come back with a vengeance. It's quite small, but can do damage disproportionate to its size!

Witaj Dinu,
bardzo fajny owad... ciekawe kolory i ujęcie, niezła ostrość i fajny POV. Bardzo śmieszne łapki ma ten żuczek...;-)
TFS and regards
Alina
