Sleek weevil
NB: Not captive. Seen on garden patio tiles.
Curious looking characters the weevils are. These beetles with their elongated snouts and myriad forms are truly unique.
This is Eurhynchus quadrituberculatus within family Brentidae, with non-elbowed antennae. Xylophagous, with the larvae being fungivorous.
One sleek weevil.
Length around 20 mm.
