Acorn Weevil

The acorn weevil caught my attention due to its strange appearance. Its long, thin snout, which has two delicate antennae that branch out near the middle, provided a unique structure which would be a challenge to design. As I inspected the picture more closely, I also noticed that the feet each have three toes. I am not sure the word "cute" is appropriate to describe many insects, but I think it is fitting in this case.

Design date: November, 2010

Paper used: A single un-cut square of tissue paper treated with methyl cellulose.
