Apparently the larva of this species of weevil builds a dome in which to pupate. Once adult the weevil chews its way out, feeding on its former home. At least that's the impression I get from observing this little guy. I found him just after his final transformation. It's amazing what you can find in the grass only a few yards from the street. He hung out in his hut for a few days before venturing out. So cute how he climbed on his roof to take a look around about a minute in. I'm very happy I was fortunate enough to catch his antics on video. He was then returned to where I found him. It's a big world out there. I wish you luck, little weevil!
