Giraffe Weevil
Someone has a head for heights!
Scientific name:Trachelophorus giraffa
Habitat: Madagaskar
If this beetle feels the cold, it’ll need a long scarf! It uses its incredibly long neck to battle other male giraffe weevils. It also uses it to build nests. By the way: giraffe weevils are part of the family of leaf-rolling weevils. They got this name because the females cut leaves so that they roll inwards. They then lay their eggs in the curled leaf. This makes sure they’re protected.
