Yellow Weevil (Lixus aemulus)

They think that there are 48,000 species of Weevils (family Curculionidea)in the animal kingdom of which we have about 2,500 species. Mostly they are brow / black in color but I was lucky enough to find this lovely yellow one. He is about 1 inch in body length and are plant eaters.

They are not endemic to SA and do a lot of damage to plants.
