thinking about weevil photonic crystal structures...

Weevils (such as Pachyrhynchus genera) have evolved epidermal cells that can produce colour through opal-like arrangements of packed spheres, forming a three-dimensional photonic crystalline structure.

Pachyrhynchus Weevil

[crawlingkind]

Hello! i came from @crevicedwelling as i submitted a cute bug & wanted to show, but i do wanna also know what bug this is 🤔 the location is Luzon, Philippines, I'd love to know what this creature is! 🪲

I thought initially that this would be an easy ID at least to genus, since the large colorful Pachyrhynchus weevils are a renowned gem of the Philippines, but I’m not sure if this is one after looking more closely. it’s definitely a weevil in the subfamily Enteminae, but I’ve not got a species for you

The crested penguins of New Zealand. In Maori they are called “Tawaki”. Belonging to the genus Eudyptes, they are the Fiordland penguin (E. Pachyrhynchus), the Snares (E. Robustus) and the Erect-crested (E. sclateri).

Due to how closely related they are, it is debated whether they are a single species with three subspecies, or three distinct species. It’s difficult to tell them apart since they are so similar.

above: the fiordland penguin

Unlike the other two species, the fiordland penguin has small white stripes underneath its eyes, and has no bare skin around its beak. Like the snares penguin, its crest (the yellow eyebrows) does not stand up. This penguin is known for swimming very far for food. These chaps nest in forests.

above: snares penguin

the snares penguin looks almost exactly like the fiordland penguin, but it lacks the white stripes below its eyes, and has a bare area of skin around the beak. The fellows breed on the Snares Islands.

this is the erect-crested penguin. Like the snares penguin, it has a bare area of skin around its beak. Unlike the other two species, it has a crest that stands up, hence the name. These guys only breed on the Bounty and Antipode islands.
