Hi gang

Found this guy and took a few shots.

Another invasive species.

Diaprepes abbreviatus (Linnaeus) is a root weevil native to the Caribbean where at least 19 additional
species within the genus are known. In the Caribbean, Diaprepes abbreviatus is one of the most
economically important pests. It was first reported in Florida in 1964 from a nursery near Apopka.
