Weevil Double-decker from the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador

True Weevils, also called snout beetles or Curculionidae are one of the largest animal families with over 80,000 species described worldwide. They feed on plants with their long snout (rostrum), in many cases only living on a single species. Many weevils are damaging to crops, but others are used for biological control of invasive plants. These cute little fellows of the genus Peridinetus were filmed in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador.
