The giraffe weevil (Trachelophorus giraffa)

In the mating season, males fight for single females by beating their necks at each other and trying to bump the opponent from the leaf. The successfull winner is allowed to mate the courted female. She spends a lot of time in wrapping her eggs effortfully: One single egg is placed on one single leaf. Then the female carefully folds the leaf’s borders and rolls the leaf up by using her elongated neck. I takes approximately half an hour for her to shape a role before she cuts it and the egg role falls to the forest ground. The tiny yellowish larva hatches later on inside the foliage, and feed on exactly the leaf it was wrapped into for the first phase of its life. Somewhen it becomes a pupae before a new weevil can hatch.
