Weevil

Description:

A 5 mm long knobbly and gnarly weevil with tufts of brown setae on the thorax. The head was tucked under and all I could see were a pair of small black spaced eyes. Thick felty legs were seen holding on to the plant stem.

Habitat:

Spotted on a myrtle plant in a national park.

Notes:

The weevil looked like a dried-up stem gall.
Family: Curculionidae
