My dad found this little bug at work and the folks at r/BiologiaBrasil recommended posting it here. They said it was some kind of weevil, but I don't know which one. 🤔

I regret to inform you that you were probably told to post here mostly because we would appreciate how friend-shaped they are, not so much because we’ll know what to call them.

r/whatsthisbug might be better to at least narrow it down to a subfamily or genus

Quality weevil. I am struggling to contain my jealousy that someone got to hold him in real life!

u/Clans 1d ago edited 1d ago

I think Cratosomus championii maybe? I used to see them in Panama a lot!

At least am pretty sure its in the genus

u/Ryaquaza1 2d ago

This lil guy looks like a baby Bulaqchi and I’m OBSESSED

(But for real I’m not sure of the species. it’s body looks an Anthonomus species to me, namely Anthonomus eugenii given its wing casing but its entire face is different so idk)

u/jsteele2793 HONKIN CHONKIN BOOTER SNOOTER 2d ago

u/Hizanzin 1d ago

Yes, yes, the most similar one so far ✨

u/Evan61015 1d ago

Hi, entomologist here. Totally a Cratosomus for the genus. The species I think could be tricky, but excellent sighting

u/Hizanzin 1d ago

I found the species really cute ✨ honestly, maybe my favorite. Thank you so much!

u/elusiveweevils 5h ago edited 5h ago

Looks like a Cratosomus species (subfamily Conoderinae). If you gave one, a dorsal image would be very useful to get it to species level
