Your letter to the bugman: This thing landed on my arm in my office and i have no idea what it is. I didn’t feel any bite, all I felt was it land on my arm, and i brushed it off immediately. I just need it identified to know if I’m in danger of a parasite, infection, virus or otherwise transmittable illness. It has what I can only assume to be some form of proboscis and an empty white container on its “abdomen” with a grey/black and brown color and a somewhat fuzzy appearance. It also had a triangle-like shape when viewed top down.
How you want your letter signed: Gerald
Dear Gerald,
This appears to be a very dead Acorn Weevil or Nut Weevil. You need not fear “danger of a parasite, infection, virus or otherwise transmittable illness” from a harmless Acorn Weevil.
