Thanks Alison not sure how that happened thought I put it in as the red and blue pollen beetle.

It might be worth trying to crop out the weevil for clarity.

if I cropped it to just the Red and Blue pollen beetle the pic quality would be terrible, pretty easy to pick which one is the red and blue pollen beetle. I just made a mistake and hit the wrong name with the first ID. Thanks again Alison.
