Some time ago I carried out combing in areas of bushes or riverside forests in order to hunt or observe several species of insects that were there. There are several species of insects that I managed to photograph there, but in this post I am interested in sharing two species of insects (beetles) that come from the same family, namely that they both come from the Curculionidae family.
These beetles are a genus of broad-nosed weevils from the order Coleoptera. Meanwhile, the characteristics of this beetle are brownish gray with two long antennae, two black eyes and six legs. I found this beetle in a bush area on the edge of a river that enters the Jok village area, Paya Bakong, North Aceh, Indonesia.

Then, still in the same location, I also found a beetle that was in the same family as the beetle above. It's just that there are slight differences in color and shape. As for beetle I mean is a beetle whose scientific name is Hypomeces pulviger, or also known as "green weevil" or "gold-dust weevil".
