Hello, My son spotted this strange looking space horse bug on his Kale in the garden. Size is approx. 1/2 inch. Location is the Sacramento California, USA area. Does anyone know what it is and/or anything about it?  Link to picture: imgur.com/a/rjgNUER |

It's a species of weevil (beetles, Coleoptera). Probably someone here can give a more accurate identification.

With the possibility of being wrong, since the photo is a bit blurry.  Order Coleoptera Family Curculionidae Subfamily Entiminae Genre Lixus lixus albomarginatus  Lixus ochraceus  It seems quite similar to what you published Two more in this family currently in my collection  The colors in Eupholus are simply Amazing CURCULONIDAE EUPHOLUS SCHOENHERRI  CURCULONIDAE EUPHOLUS SCHOENHERRI PETITI  |

Weevil. Bing has a lot of insect pest pictures on Kale. Apparently there is a wide variety of pests. This one you show is a weevil. The species would be interesting to figure out.
