Day 4 of the 30 Days of Weevils challenge spotlights the Beautiful Clown Weevil (Eudiagogus pulcher)!
This aptly-named weevil - with lovely black spots and peachy iridescence - is native to North America. Members of their genus, Eudiagogus, are also called sesbania clown weevils because they feed on Sesbania pea plants.
