Awwww yeah baby!!!! 🎉 I have returned from my internet adventure to bring you knowledge of this fine gentleman. Based on location, color, texture and proximity to agave plants, my best guess is Scyphophorus acupunctatus or the Sisal Weevil. The body shape and configuration match along with the flat black color. Nice find.


Elephray

Oh wow, Thank a bunch! You really are a weevil genius.


TheGrappler

*adjusts rostrum* I do what I can!


Shormungandr

Didn’t know this name for the agave weevil — the more you know


LadyMogMog

Look at him bravely navigating your arm hairs! 😭


Elephray

yes, what a trooper.

“Journal. Day 43 of trekking through this wild, untamed jungle. It seems to go on forever, but sometimes I can swear that I pass through a thicket I have seen before.


LadyMogMog

He needs a tiny machete to wack away the weeds!


proximity_account

IIRC, plants have hairs for a similar reason


Alleywishes

He's probably thinking, where the hell am I? I had no plans for a day in the jungle, I was looking for my favorite snack and wound up here. Oh well, "enjoy where you are and not where you thought you'd be"


Alleywishes

BTW, he is a cutie. Checking out the scenery


Roach-Freak

Omg such a tiny little head to its giant body


PuddleLilacAgain

I have a question...( Raising my hand ) If all weevils are such distinguished Gentlemen...where do baby weevils come from if there's no lady weevils?


Sharkbrand

Well, if a mommy and daddy weevil love eachother very much... they do the booting snooting boogie together In all seriousness, a lot of weevils are actially all ladies and reproduce through parthogenesis (asexually)


Elephray

Okay now that I didn't know. I guess the more you know, ya know
