Leaf Rolling Weevil
Attelabinae

Field Notes
Description:
These little leaf-rolling weevils appeared on a sunny morning, solving my mystery leaf packages case!(http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/37320392)<br><br>
Notes:
Found them on a Rose wood tree. I did not find them earlier probably because I was looking for some sort of larvae or caterpillars :) <br>
These are pretty tiny insects to watch especially if they are busy rolling leaves to build nests on a branch of a huge Rose wood tree and sorry about the hazy pictures.<br>
Not sure about the exact ID, but yes it belongs to family Attelabinae. These are more brownish with yellow legs and black spots.<br><br>
• Leaf-rolling activities began after the new spring leaves have expanded
• The females are the leaf rollers.
• Leaf-rolls are green to start with and turn brown to umber gradually
• Don't find them during wet spells
• It took about an hour to complete rolling this leaf.
