Hypomeces squamosus
Yellow weevils in conjugal union. The male, one which is riding, is smaller - about 12.00mm - is more hairy and has bigger head. Female body length is about 15.00mm.
Found on this tree, whose leaves it had eaten earlier. The surrounding area is quite bushy. Warm to hot place.
While our children were busy dirt-biking in the Phuket Jungle, I and my wife went around for some local bio-spottings. The area was dry and warm to hot, no good for insects, nevertheless persisted and looked under and over leaves, branches, trunks and bushes! It was quite a surprise when I spotted this gentle couple blissfully unaware how many thousands of km we'd come to witness their ultimate happiness!
