Alright, thanks. What would you suggest i use for it's enclosure?Looks like a weevil (Curculionidae), probably from the genus Otiorhynchus. I'm not sure of the exact species.
They are herbivorous beetles and feed on all sorts of plants.
What do you mean. Is it really that rare?Oh my! What an awesome find. I would have flipped out if I found that!
There's certainly much colorful weevils out there. It's a huge family.I only found one weevil in my life at a similar size and it was brown. I never even knew weevils came in that black color. It's just so beautiful.
I never even knew they were rare, i could just go out and find some in the summer where i live.I only found one weevil in my life at a similar size and it was brown. I never even knew weevils came in that black color. It's just so beautiful.
I'll take some when i get back home.That looks more like a Tenebrionidae to me, (darkling beetle) - maybe not, but difficult to tell from the pics, need a face closeup
