I can hear the audience groaning, Joe|=)| Although I guess I could think of a few worse:

"Weevil Kenevil"
"Resident Weevil"

Excellent macro, very well done.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.
Chris, I hope that your 'weevil kenevil' isn't copyright 'cos I'm going to nab it as a title for any future weevil photo's I may take!!
