A weevil is any beetle from the Curculionoidea superfamily. They are usually small, less than 6 millimetres (0.24 in), and herbivorous. There are over 60,000 species in several families, mostly in the family Curculionidae (the true weevils). Some other beetles, although not closely related, bear the name "weevil", such as the biscuit weevil (Stegobium paniceum), which belongs to the family Anobiidae.

In Indonesia, it’s known as Kumbang Gajah or “Elephant beetle”
I found this orange weevil in the backyard.
Photos of Weevil - Kumbang Gajah were taken using a camera phone Sony Ericsson K800i in Jonggol, West Java, Indonesia.
