So, today I went to the lake, caught 2 (seemingly different) weevils in the field, put them in one jar, then I open them, and they....they decided to mate...

No, this time they seem to be the same species-Phyllobius pyrion. And so-weevils mate with anything and wherever smile.gifPhyllobius has a soil larva, so it will be problematic. It's easier to type in nature. With weevils in general, everything is not so simple. I know for sure - Larinuses and Lixus from stems are well removed from infected baskets of compound flowers (+crowds of parasites smile.gif)
