Platypodinae

Platypodinae is a weevil subfamily in the family Curculionidae. They are important early decomposers of dead woody plant material in wet tropics; all but two species are ambrosia beetles that cultivate fungi in tunnels excavated in dead wood as the sole food for their larvae. They are sometimes known as pinhole borers.[1]

gollark: I personally mostly use Inkscape for my very occasional image editation needs.
gollark: oh, those things. Heard of the GNU Image Manipulation Program?
gollark: It is very possible. We may need to use two accounts.
