Giraffe Weevil
The giraffe weevil (''Trachelophorus giraffa'') is a weevil found in Southern Africa, India, south-east Asia. Description and ecology It derives its name from an extended neck, much like that of a giraffe. The giraffe weevil is sexually dimorphic, with the neck of the male typically being 2 to 3 times the length of that of the female. Most of the body is black with distinctive red elytra covering the flying wings. The total body length of the males is just under an inch (2.5 cm), among the longest for any Attelabidae, attelabid species. The extended neck is an evolution, adaptation that assists in nest building and fighting. To breed, females roll and secure a leaf of the host plant, ''Dichaetanthera cordifolia'' or ''Dichaetanthera arborea'' (a small tree in the family Melastomataceae), then lay one egg (biology), egg within the tube, before snipping it from the plant.
