Heilipus apiatus
One of the most spectacular weevils in Florida. It breeds in Persea.

Thank you!
I don't know how I missed it when I was scrolling through the snout beetles section. I guess because I don't have avacados I just skipped over it. I need to get beyond common names :)

I do have red bay (Persea borbonia) saplings trying to make a comeback...so many around here have been lost to laurel wilt. Thanks so much!
