17005-67001 Eupholus weevil (Eupholus nickerli). Eupholus weevils are some of the most brightly coloured weevils in the world, their bright coloration may serve as warning to other animals that they are distasteful. Rod found this blue/grey variant in the Wau Valley on a yam plant, and it's colourful enough, but two other variants of this particular species may be either sky blue or even turquiose. New Guinea *
