ROBERT SCHNECK: Resident Weevil

The other day we posted an appeal from a reader in Panama to identify this weevil. As always, the intrepid Googling of Robert Schneck saved the day. He writes:

Hi Jon,

The festive weevil in the picture is a silky cane weevil, Metamasius hemipterus sericeus (Olivier).
I never heard of it before, but the trick is starting with the plant being attacked and location, so the search terms "heliconia, Panama, weevil" turned up the answer.
