Hey Rosa, this was a great episode! I was wondering, do you happen to know how the rotating motion helps to bore a hole in the acorn? I would have assumed that the rostrum was shaped or textured in a way that made it function something like a drill bit, but from what I can see it looks mostly smooth...

Do female weevils try to reach into another one's burrow and kill the eggs? Like an interspecies competition sort of thing. Maybe they like to dig under the cap because it hides the burrow better.

One of the main reasons I love this channel is that it is a great place to see proper insect appreciation. Also, I know weevils are one of the most destructive insects to agriculture, but I can't help, but love their little snoot faces. I also love it how insects can mimic human machines while still being organic.

Weevils are my favorite insects of all time!! With their silly snouts and adorable little “paws”, they are the cutest!!! Acorn weevils are definitely my favorite type of weevil since they are local for me, and they can swivel their little heads!! Such charming little guys.

It's weevil time

They look so cute and that's so interesting! Our crew filmed wasps that are born inside figs! Basically, the tree depends on the wasp to pollinate its flowers, but in return, it offers a hidden place for the insect to lay its eggs. But we must admit that the wasps doesn't look as cute as weevils.

Snoots n boots! With such a long rostrum most people that watch this channel can go see them themselves. Some weevils dont have much of a snoot at all. Others dont wear boots. We can experience weevil time in person with a real snoot booter for our enjoyment.

Personally I've always loved weevils of all species, they have this "hurumph hurumph" way of walking I adore.

Insects are truly the most bizarre and interesting creatures on this planet. This thing looks like something that couldn’t be conceived by the wildest imagination

I never thought that seems "cute" especially turning the head left right ❤

ITS WEEVIL TIME BABY !!!

This is fascinating. The weevils are really cool and cute. I always wondered what creature made the holes in the acorns. This was very interesting and now I am going to watch for them. ✌

What a creation. Each one has a brain, and a heart, and organs the size of sand grains.

these creatures are just so wonderful! when i first saw them, i didnt believe an insect looked like that in real life!! looks like it came straight from a cartoon. so delightful to see a video on these guys, well done!!!

4:12 I love how awkward their limbs are for “fighting” rather than maneuvering. No spikes or horns either, so they’re just awkwardly batting and patting each other in ferocious mom-to-mom combat.

So *fluffy* I just want to pet it

I had no idea the rostrum bent like that as it eats through the acorn, that is incredible

This is the first time I ever heard that they try to steal each other's boreholes... Honestly I'm impressed that they're smart enough to even consider that. I wonder if it's like, spur of the moment, just some opportunistic impulse, or there's some actual sense of frustration/fatigue that leads to them making "pre-meditated" attempts at theft?

Where there's a Weevil, there's a way

it's cute in a weird way, now make a video for each of the other 97,000 species of weevil

HAHAHA SCROBES??? now i love weevils even more! it’s amazing being able to see that head swivel action up close.
