My little alien has hatched. As I had begun to suspect, it’s the most gorgeous Figwort weevil (Cionus scrophulariae).

I’ve just returned from delivering my tiny miracle to the small group of Figwort (Scrophularia nodosa) plants near where I first found its cocoon.

These are two other Figwort weevils I found on those plants; they are probably some of its siblings. Aren’t they just delightful creatures?
