Cyrtotrachelus buqueti
Cyrtotrachelus buqueti
This large bamboo weevil inhabits bamboo groves and nearby forest edges in parts of East and Southeast Asia. Adults feed on bamboo shoots and stems, using their long snout and mouthparts to bore into plant tissue. When disturbed, it can drop still and feign death, relying on its hard exoskeleton for protection.
