Three guesses how the giraffe weevil gets its name. Unsurprisingly, this extraordinary looking Madagascan creature gets the name from its stupendously long neck. It is three times longer in the male than the female of the species (Trachelophorus giraffa). As such it is sexually dimorphic - the male's neck is used for aggressive combat.
