Rynchophorus sp
absolutely gigantic weevil!
amazon, tropical rainforest
There was a small group of these weevils and other insects feeding on the sap of a tree. I've never seen weevils this large, I was really surprised. The Amazon always amazes!
You're so right, that's my bad, was an accident. It's all fixed up now, thanks bayucca.
I only know Rnychophorus cruentatus, the Palmetto Weevil (black morph!) or Rynchophorus bilineatus. But I do not know the range of Cruentatus (mybest guess), if it is found in Colombia as well.
