Field Notes

Description:

Black weevil with green markings.

Notes:

We went for a swim at Itogon Hotspring Resort when I noticed a weevil. (photo 5). I thought it was alone but when i reviewed the shot, I noticed 2 others behind the leaves. I went back to confirm it and it's just so amazing to find them crawling under the leaves and on the branches. I counted 8 of them but there could be more!

Thanks bayucca for the ID. Indeed they have similar markings but maybe these are still young that the color is a bit different.
Curculionidae, Brachyderinae, Pachyrrhynchini, Pachyrrhynchus sp. and looks very similar to Pachyrrhynchus moniliferus. http://gallery.kunzweb.net/main.php?g2_itemId=53866 http://www.insect-sale.com/kr/photo.asp?photo=Pachyrrhynchus-moniliferus http://alsphotopage.com/image/show/id/6490 http://www.insectdesigns.com/Pachyrrhynchus-moniliferus-Philippines.html http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Pachyrrhynchus-moniliferus-stellulifer-female-14-5mm-/00/s/MTYwMFg4ODU=/z/LnUAAOxyu~lSR9~P/$T2eC16N,!y0FI,yBI0fSBSR9+PV0Ug~~60_35.JPG https://www.flickr.com/photos/bettaman/2929807491/in/photostream/ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Insect-Pachyrrhynchus-moniliferus-Patnanongan-Philippines-Pair-15mm-/160923674095
