New Zealand giraffe weevil, Lasiorhynchus barbicornis, Brentidae
The New Zealand giraffe weevil is a species of straight-snouted weevil endemic to New Zealand. This species shows extreme sexual dimorphism: females can measure as long as 50mm while males can be as large as 90mm, with a snout as long as their body. Weevil larvae tunnel in wood for as long as two years before emerging as adults, but adults live only a few weeks.

We always talk about how autistic adults are adults, and that's true. but shoutout to the autistics that :
age regress
pet regress
don't feel human
are age stunted by trauma
who feel like a teen/child for whatever reason
who want to be a child again
age sliders in a system
littles in a system
middles in a system
Was compelled to make this during a conversation about commonly disliked bugs
