A weevil with a small head and large body sits on a lumpy pale grey background. The weevil is shiny dark brown to bronzy black, with the sides and head covered in small white to off white scales.

Small head or huge body? 🧐🤔 You decide!

This handsome #weevil appears to be in the genus #Lachnopus (probably L. curvipes), a group that is endemic & diverse in the Caribbean.

While researching, I saw @entiminae.bsky.social worked on these beetles!
