TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that the Sapphire Weevil (Chrysolopus spectabilis) is a weevil found in southeastern Australia? These weevils, with their characteristic boots and snoots, are often black with patches of green scales though the ones maturing later in the year are typically more blue than green. Despite their bright colours, they possess no poison or venom. They keep a sharp eye out and are very alert so if they sense danger they will either hold as tight as possible to their host plant or they let go, fall to the ground, and play dead.
