Firefly trips over Weevil, struggles to get back up @StuffISawOutside

A Firefly (family Lampyridae) -- maybe a Texas Hooker Firefly (Pyractomena punctiventris) -- trips over a small gray Weevil (family Curculionidae) and struggles to get back up at Attwater Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge, in Colorado County, TX, USA.

The Firefly seems to have a bad right rear leg. I think it's funny that the Firefly ends up stepping over a Weevil again at the end of the video, even if it might not be intentional.
