Botany Bay Diamond Weevil

Chrysolopus spectabilis

Description:

Their long snout allows them to chew holes in plants to make egg chambers, and assists with food gathering. They are often said to be described as being iridescent green and black. Their undersides also display tones of green. The slightly punctated bodies have a white to green line running vertically their entire length.
