Pachyrrhynchus absurdis is a beautiful weevil that is found in the higher elevations of Bukidnon in Mindanao Island. It has a deep purple body with its elytra decorated in iridescent scales that give it the appearance of being covered in glitter.
Comes in a silver tone adjustable 20mm glass dome terrarium ring with peacock ore, sun-bleached snail shells and dried flowers.
This is one of the most spectacular weevils in the world, it’s sought after by collectors and photographers. Even more vivid, these weevils ought to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
No insects are ever harmed to create my jewelry they are either found naturally deceased or come from Insect Sanctuaries which actually help maintain the species and their habitat. Here they are allowed to live out their full lifespan and are collected post-mortem so that their beauty can live on. In fact native people (Malaysia, Indonesia, Papa New Guinea etc..) are encouraged to raise insects other then cut down the land for cash crops.
