Look at that funky beetle! Nut weevils are beetles of the genus Curculio. They typically measure from 0.24 to 0.35 inches (6 to 9 mm). See that extra long snoot? It’s called a rostrum and females can have one that exceeds the length of their bodies. This elongated snout is the perfect tool for boring into nuts, which is where females lay their eggs. When newborn nut weevils hatch, their home is also a feast. They munch on the inside of a nut from summer through autumn, until their birth place finally drops to the ground. Once the nut has fallen, the larvae bury their way into the soil where they continue to develop—not resurfacing until they are fully grown, which can take up to two years.

Axis is a genus of deer occurring in South and Southeast Asia. As presently defined by most authorities, four species are placed in the genus. Three of the four species are called hog deer. The genus name is a word mentioned in Pliny the Elder's Natural History. #animalphotos #animalphotography #animalsofinstagram #animalsultans #birdsofinstagram #discovertheworld #exclusive_animals #explore_wildlife #featured_wildlife #ignature #igscwildlife #live_love_wildlife #marvelshots #marvelouz_animals #naturephotography #naturfotografie #natureisbeautiful #natureshooters #nature_hub #nature_perfection #naturepic #ourplanetdaily #wildlife_inspired #wildlife_seekers #wildlife_shots #wildlifeperfection #wildlifephotographer #wildlifephotography #anshumanpandeyphotography #illuminatingpixels (at Jhalana Reserve Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxKyoFvUUs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
