Apricots

Still hanging on!

Will the apricots survive this year? Usually, most of them drop off before they’re fully ripe. We have a number of fruits this year, but this photograph shows a developing apricot with a small passenger.

I have attempted to identify it, but without success. I wondered if it was an apricot weevil, but it doesn’t seem to have a long ‘nose.’ The nose is called a rostrum. I wonder if orchestra conductors realise they are standing on a nose?

Any entomologists out there?
