Jewel Weevil Eurhinus magnificus

The name says it all: magnificus. These Central American weevils earned the title 'jewel weevil' honestly, displaying the kind of metallic iridescence usually reserved for precious stones. First described in 1836, they've been dazzling naturalists and collectors for nearly two centuries. They're proof that weevils—often overlooked insects with long snouts—can be just as spectacular as any butterfly.
