Weevils, weevils, weevils ... again this year! Online, free, and always exciting and illuminating :)

Spread the word! The Weevil Workers meetings consist of a series of presentations on any aspect of the study of weevils (Curculionoidea). Topics include systematics, faunistics, biogeography, evolution, biology, ecology, pests/biological control agents, etc. www.curculionoidea.org/weevil-worke...

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀 Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯 A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛 Let's dive in! 🧵👇 1/x

Ahh, that’s more like it. Pure, smooth weevil satisfaction

Extremely smooth and pleasantly textured weevil, looks sort of like a very expensive men’s shoe

Same smooth weevil in lateral view. I’m struggling to come up with adjectives that don’t sound like a cigarette commercial.
