A roughly fig-shaped gray weevil stands on a bright green new leaf. The weevil's snout is short and blunt. It's flanked by two round jet-black eyes. From the snout's tip, long, segmented antennae diverge to either side. These are clearly inspired by 1950s sci-fi movies: a long straight club-shaped segment emerges from the snout, and then elbows into a line of bell-shaped segments terminating in a large, gold, egg-shaped knob. The whole thing is clearly designed to shoot heat rays or receive telepathic communications. The weevil's head is sunken into the shoulders of its thorax, as though it's wearing a snood. The elytra of its abdomen are decorated with rows of dimples and streaks of black like the texture of marble. Then there are the toes. The lovely toes. Each foot is constructed from a stack of three heart-shapes, the biggest near the tip, and from this distal heart sprout two delicate rabbit-ear shaped fingers.
