Realistic Giraffe Weevil PVC figurine with detailed texture, miniature size perfect for play, education, or display.
The Toymany Giraffe Weevil measures: 4.6” L x 2.25” W x 1” H
The Toymany Giraffe Weevil accurately captures the insect’s most recognizable feature—its dramatically elongated neck. The sculpt highlights the extended prothorax and compact wing covers, with clearly defined legs and antennae. The red-and-black color pattern reflects the appearance of the real species found in Madagascar. The surface texture is detailed without being exaggerated, giving the model a balanced, realistic presentation.
Made from durable PVC, the figure is solid and well-finished, suitable for handling, display, or educational use. It works well in insect collections, classroom demonstrations, or nature-themed play setups. The stable stance allows it to sit securely on a flat surface. For collectors of insect models or anyone building a realistic arthropod set, this Giraffe Weevil is a distinctive addition due to its unusual proportions and recognizable form.
Giraffe weevils (Trachelophorus giraffa) are beetles native to Madagascar. They are best known for the male’s elongated neck, which is an extension of the head and thorax. Males use this structure during combat with other males to gain access to females. The extended neck also helps in nest construction. Females have noticeably shorter necks but share the same red elytra (wing covers) and black head and abdomen.
This species belongs to the leaf-rolling weevil family (Attelabidae). After mating, the female cuts and rolls a leaf into a tube, creating a protective chamber where she lays a single egg. The larva develops inside the rolled leaf, feeding on plant tissue until it matures. Despite their striking appearance, giraffe weevils are harmless to humans and are primarily associated with specific host plants in Madagascar’s forests.
