Curculio proboscideus (Curculionidae: Curculioninae) perched atop a flower of Helianthus sp. (Asteraceae). Note the elongation of the head to form the characteristic weevil rostrum or “snout.” In some groups, the rostrum is not only used for feeding, but also for preparing oviposition sites and placing eggs deep inside plant tissues (Photo credit: D.
