Red Palm weevil

@ Leuba
yupe..but right now here on samui island we have really problem with this one! :(

nice-looking weevil. It's a pity it's so destructive ...

@ argybee
got it. :)

I was only joking about you making it Umaporn.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
I have not heard of this before. It seems like a real problem.

Wellcome UmapornSarasat.

A little time ago I read an article about a bug that was destroying coconut plantations in Bahia, Brazil. And, of course, it was this weevil, wich was introduced accidentaly here, and now is an invasive species. Just remembered that.

@ asergio
thank you for your information. :)

@ argybee
no..no it really alive..here in samui island a lot of coconut trees die because of this creature.

Looks like it is made of plastic or clay. Body made of coconut. Did you make this Umaporn?
