identificationRemarks | Meanwhile, I usually leave Longhorn beetles to identify for the real specialists we have – this time I thought it's worth the story! Whether it was you, dear @gabriellybenaducci , or iNaturalist's AI who chose the first ID – it was not too bad a guess. O.K. - in zoological systematics, it was fatal, but you saw exactly what you should see. Brentid weevil mimicry is an understudied phenomenon. In fact, I have not yet found a trace that anything has been published upon it. Why that? Brentinae, or weevils in general, are not known to have toxic potential, or bad taste – usually the backgrounds for mimicry in insects. There is another reason, however. Some insects are really annoying prey. Brentinae – anyone who tried to pin one knows – have an extremely robust exosceleton, including the limbs. So, imagine a lesser insectivore trying to get one: Too hard to get it into pieces, bad shape to swallow it in one piece, and feels prickly . . . bah! Several Cerambycidae in tropical America and Asia exhibit a close resemblance in pattern with larger Brentinae (Arrhenodini, Brentus spp.), enhanced by a certain posture like an alert Brentid weevil, the basal antennal segments thickened (or optically so by hair brushes) and held in proximity to go for a rostrum. When dead, this isn't apparent any more: https://apps2.cdfa.ca.gov/publicApps/plant/bycidDB/wdetails.asp?id=13431&w=n Have not seen an African Longhorn alike insofar, nor another beetle or insect mimicking a Brentid. In Longhorn beetles, this developed in multiple independent occasions. Another example from Brazil I found is Ischioloncha wollastoni: https://apps2.cdfa.ca.gov/publicApps/plant/bycidDB/wdetails.asp?id=8266&w=n (with Brentus-like pattern, while that of Gryllica is the typical Arrhenodini pattern) @vitalfranz for note |
