The weevil is no longer than an ant. It was first discovered in 1922 in Brazil, and named by  Thomas Lincoln Casey, Jr. An entomologist at New York's Museum of Natural History thought that, because there was not a Latin name or Brazilian name associated with this weevil, it was probably named Zyzzyva as a practical joke to place it in a prominent ending position in many guides and manuals.

There are a few different types, depending upon what they like to eat.  Here is everything you ever wanted to know about weevils and much, much more.

Shouldn't this be under "Pets and Animals"? ;)

Hey Liam,

I think you need at least one word to be a contender.

And I'm sure there is another thread for me to comment, "Hey, I saw that at the Colony when I was a kid."

Is the clock still one hour behind here? If so, then this is the last of MY words for today:
Don't spill coffee on your bed or floor because you have to clean it up and you haven't had
your coffee yet. And it won't come up even with elbow grease and soap and sponge and vinegar and
a fan.
Sleeping somewhere else tonight.

Last word is mine tonight.  :rockon:

And yes, I think the clock may be wrong.  It's 11:56 right now, so if my post says 10:56 or so then the clock is definitely off!  But it will catch up again in the fall.  ::)

Little girl playing with a rattling and buzzing cicada. Does she think it's a toy?

Very creepy for both the little girl and the poor cicada!
