I self-identify as a hymenopterist, but so I also love beetles...warts and all.

Quarter profile (-ish) image of a large, black weevil (family Curculionidae) from Western Australia. The background is light grey. This specimen, in the genus Gagatophorus, has very large conical bumps arranged in longitudinal rows on its thorax and abdomen. Its snout is short and broad, and the characteristic geniculate (elbowed) antennae seen on the true weevils are visible.
