Description: Colorful aqua blue green banded Weevil. Eupholus is a genus of beetle in the family Curculionidae. These beetles are known as the jewels of the forest. The species include some of the most colourful of the weevils. The colour may be a warning to predators that they are distasteful. Most species feed upon yam leaves, some of which are toxic to other animals. The species occur in PNG, West Irian, and adjacent Islands.
