Red Stripe Weevil, Rhynchophorus vulneratus

The palm weevil "Rhynchophorus vulneratus" is one of two species of snout beetle known as the red palm weevil, Asian palm weevil, or Sago palm weevil. The adult beetles are relatively large, ranging between 2 and 4 centimetres long, and vary from a rusty red colour to almost entirely black; many colour variants exist and have led to considerable confusion with other species.
