Trichosirocalus troglodytes
A very small weevil of about 3.5mm length and with a rather bland and insignificant appearance to the naked eye. With macro photography though, this proves to be a well marked and distinctive species, with one of the best latin names we know. This Trichosirocalus troglodytes was found at Warsop Main Pit Top in April 2010 and is a common species, which feeds on Thistles.
