Giraffe-necked weevil

These amazing giraffe-necked weevils grow up to a maximum of 30mm and are named for obvious reasons.  The male’s neck is far longer than the female’s and is used to fight rival males just as their much larger namesakes do.  They are native to Madagascar and never stray far from the giraffe beetle tree.
