Broad-nosed weevil

Entiminae

Description:

The Entiminae are a large subfamily in the weevil family Curculionidae, containing most of the short-nosed weevils, including such genera as Otiorhynchus, Phyllobius, and Sitona. Some of these weevils are notorious pests of major economic importance.

Habitat:

The Broad Nosed Weevil is originally a Central American insect. It can be found in South, Central, U.S., and West Indies. It is not a friendly insect to those who have farmlands. They like to eat away crops and ruin them.[10] The Weevil is found all over the world and lives on every continent besides Antarctica. The most common place to find them is on an island where the temperature is hotter and more humid. Most Weevils have a preference on where they live. Some like different environments then others and can live better in different climates. Weevils have grown all over the world in a large amount.

Notes:

This one i have found in Chintamonikar Bird Sanctuary during August '15. That place is quite dark due to dense bush all around the sanctuary and moist too.
