leaf-rolling weevils
Rhynchitini is a tribe of small to medium-sized weevils within the family Attelabidae, commonly known as leaf-rolling weevils. These beetles are characterized by their association with leaf manipulation behaviors, particularly the cutting and rolling of leaves to create protective shelters for their eggs and larvae. The tribe contains numerous genera distributed across multiple continents, with most species associated with broadleaf trees and shrubs.
