Description
true weevil of the insect order Coleoptera (beetles and weevils). Curculionidae not only is the largest coleopteran family (about 40,000 species) but is thought to be the largest family in the animal kingdom. Most weevils have long, distinctly elbowed antennae that may fold into special grooves on the snout.
