Rüsselkäfer - Pachyrhynchus Size:16 x 16 cm in black wooden frame false eyespots on the hindWeevil Pachyrhynchus Pachyrhynchus are weevils from the family Curculionidae and are found mainly on Southeast Asian islands. These flightless beetles have striking colors and fused wing covers. The eggs are laid in plant tissue, from which the larvae develop and feed in the stems of their host plants. The diversification of the genus suggests dispersal across islands. It is believed that these insects feed on their host plants to move from one island
