Over the years, I have picked up many acorns and occasionally I have noticed pinprick-like holes in some of them. Well, here is a photo of the culprit presently responsible for many, if not all, of the pinprick-like holes in the fallen acorns in my yard. The insect was so engrossed in boring a hole in this particular acorn that he did not mind being carried around before having his photo taken. When I finally put him down on a rock in the woods, he continued boring his hole while still paying absolutely no attention to me.
