Weevil Weevil Rock it...!


I spot this smart fella dressed in his Sunday best, off to somewhere in a real hurry...





As if the rocky path he had to cross earlier wasn't enough, here he had hurdles of a different kind to cross...




My camera followed him and there I saw him joined by his pals, all dressed as smartly as him, if not better.
Now it was getting all the more intriguing...




Ah, there they are finally. So, it was this rotting seed pod that drew them from all over. This was the feast they were hurrying to... :)

While I was busy trying to capture our guy and his pals, I spotted a patch of red from the corner of my eye. I turned towards the red patch and what did I see...




Whoa man...! A whole colony of the brightest red "Spotted Weevils"
I'd ever seen...


I quickly trained my lens on them and clicked...! Barely had the click of the camera died down that I heard more buzzing and spied more red...




Whoa and double Whoa...!
Where ever I turned I saw red...!! After having my fill of these utterly beautiful red bugs, I shoved my camera into my sling bag and just sat on the grass beside the road, closed my eyes and listened carefully...




The buzzing stopped and what did I hear...
The clear strains of the their Anthem-

"Weevil Weevil Rock You..."

I sat still till the song was done and then opened my eyes, dusted my bottom, picked up my umbrella and headed back towards Mum's school, all geared up to ROCK IT with the kids... :D

Guys, you really really rocked my day...!
