This cute friend here was happy it was mango season last year (June, 2017).

My house is frequently visited by cute insects (guess who's happy almost everyday and dances around every new discovery? Yeah, that'd be me). That day it was this weevil turn and he practically stole my mango, I let him because he's ridiculously adorable.

Weevils are beetles from the Curculionidae family (Coleoptera), they range in size from 1 to 35 mm and the front of the head is bent downward and produced into a snout of varying lenght. In some species the snout is short and indistinct; in some of the nut weevils it is as long as the body or longer.

Weevils have diverse feeding habits, but except for those in ant nests, they are all plant feeders. This is the largest family of animals, with over 40 000 described species in the world!
