A weevil that looks like a piece of bark? 🪲
Platystomos albinus belongs to the broad-nosed weevils (Anthribidae), a group quite different from the typical leaf-munching weevils many people imagine.

Their larvae develop hidden in dead wood, often associated with fungi, while the adults wear this striking bark-like pattern that makes them surprisingly easy to overlook in the wild. 🪵
