Two different specimens of the beautiful Green Broad-nosed Weevil (Exophthalmus jekelianus) 💚🩵

The top two and middle two photos appear to be female while I suspect the weevil in the bottom two photos is a male due to the difference in the shape and sizes in their abdomens. Although it’s impossible to tell for sure without taking a look at the underside of their abdomens— males have a rounded terminal abdominal sternite while the female's have pointed one! I’ve also read that females tend to be more active while males are kind of perceived as “lazy”. Haha

Platyaspistes venustus, also called the Blue and Yellow Broad-Nosed Weevil, kicks off Day 8 of the 30 Days of Weevils art challenge!

Like other broad-nosed weevils, this weevil is characterized by a scar on the tip of its rostrum, left over from mandibular processes that fall off in its adult life. Vibrant colors stripe its elytra, making it a beautiful sight in its native South American environment!

Last time I humanized a Best Fiends character, I humanized Nog...and for my next, I went with the second weevil character! Eleanor was fun to design for a humanization, I went with one of those "boho middle aged women" for her influence.
