Weevils belong to the beetles order Coleoptera, within the superfamily Curculionoidea (Snout and Bark Beetles). One of the main difference between typical beetles and weevils, is that weevils have a long snout. The fungus weevil pictured here has the apically clubbed antennae. Fungus weevils eat fungi, decaying plant matter.
