You can't not love this Cactus Weevil, with that cute nose and big, black eyes? Many weevils feed on seeds, but the adults and larvae of the cactus weevils feed on the flesh of prickly pear (and some other) cacti. They range from Canada to South America.

I'm not sure what species this particular one is, but it was attracted to the lights on the outside of a bathhouse at a state park in eastern New Mexico. Yes, I stalk bathhouses at night with headlamp and camera!
