Lixus angustatus is one of the approximately 60,000 known species in the Curculionidae family of weevils. They are recognized by their distinctive long snout and geniculate antennae with small clubs; beyond that curculionids have considerable diversity of form and size, with adult lengths ranging from 1 to 40 millimetres (0.04 to 1.57 in).Photo credit: Joaquim Alves Gaspar
