What do giraffe weevils eat?

Answer 1

The giraffe weevil (Trachelophorus giraffa) is a newly-found species so there is not much information about them. They are endemic to Madagascar although the similarly named Lasiorynchus barbicornis is native to New Zealand (the New Zealand giraffe weevil). However, all weevils are herbivorous, so they primarily eat plant leaves.

Answer 2

Giraffe weevils feed on leaves, primarily from the parasol tree (Dillenia indica) in their native tropical rainforest habitat of Madagascar. They use their long necks to reach and chew on the leaves of these trees.

Answer 3

they are herbivores so they eat from the Bridelia tomentosa, the Dichaetantherea cordifolia, and the Dichaetantherea arborea trees.
