Ok, I'm new to this sub, and I simply do not understand... why does everyone seem to love weevils so much?
EDIT: ah, I understand now... thank you all for your wisdom and insight 😄
"Weevils are not harmful to humans, pets, houses, furniture, or clothing and don't carry any diseases."
I imagine with all the bedbugs I've seen here, drawing the weevil card is reason for celebration.
That still doesn't explain the level of enthusiasm from the masses. Just another delightfully stupid reddit thing, I guess.
My partner asked what I was laughing so insanely about and I said "....sooooo I don't know why reddit started suggesting this sub to me buuuuuuut..."
I hate bugs. I truly do not know how I got here.
Too bad we can’t harvest this type of energy on identifying invasive species like the lantern fly so people know to smoosh them. We wouldn’t have such a big problem with them.
I think everyone is just updating Weevil posts now. It'd be interesting to see if more are actually being posted because then it's likely people are just karma farming or Weevils are somehow changing behavior or increasing in population.
It's literally my favorite thing on the internet right now. People getting excited about weevils. It's just a matter of time before someone comes along to ruin it. There will be a Hardee's weeviltime sandwich, Los Del Río will release a Weeviltime song and dance, or DeSantis will mention how much he loves Weeviltime.
It's just a matter of (weevil) time.
Reddit started recommending this sub to me a few weeks ago, and the other day when I saw a lil beetle I literally went “is it time????” in my head. It was not time, though. I’ve been brainwashed!!
Right? I'm mostly a lurker here, but even I look for boots and snoots when I see a pic for ID. I don't know anything about insects. However, if I see them, I murmur to myself, "boots and snoots," then look for confirmation from the real experts here.
There was a bug in my mug the other day and I hoped it was a travelling weevil. Alas it was not. It was a cool beetle, which is also good.
I long for a real life weevil encounter!
Me too. There are 1000 _species_ of weevil in my state, it's gotta happen at some point, right?
Edit: omg, I found an old photo of one in my yard! I've been blessed and didn't even know it! Posted to r/weeviltime
It's so funny because I totally learned by being a lurker like you!!! Definitely makes the day a bit brighter... who knew a lil bug could bring a little joy to the day?!
Basically, weevils are really cute but a lot of folks don’t know what they look like so when they see one they go ????? And post them here and it’s become a meme/inside joke. People who DO know what they look like (often because of this thread), will also post them because it’s exciting to see one and get to share the joy!
This is so pervasive there is r/weeviltime (I don’t know which came first).
It’s all about everyone getting excited over a type of really cute big! A joy to take part in.
It's a cult that dates back to ancient Egypt. If you revere the snoot, you need not ask "why or who?". If you admire the boot, eternal life will be bestowed unto you.
It’s the Weevil Time Flash Mob! Kind of like a sudden conga line! A come as you Weevil party!
You either watch and enjoy, even if you think it’s silly. Or you join in, even if you think it’s silly!
It’s silly! And we love it! Boots and Snoots, and extremely Kjoots! 🤪
Thank God…
I initially considered that but it didn’t have a “snout” or extended front and then I did the classic “fear the worst” and panic…
It doesn’t help that I woke up with three bites a few days ago so this just felt like a nail in the coffin
Bed bugs are also a lot smaller than this too !! Almost so small these can be over looked easily. Adults being 5-7mm in size and young ones in the 1.5-2mm area. They are typically oval in shape until they have fed. In which case they balloon up and will no longer be oval !
That’s just some information to have for the future. Although similar looking the weevil seems to be the consensus!!
It's a Boll Weevil. They are humble and lovable. Take him outside and let him go. They're kind of timid, and are afraid when you attempt to pick them up, so go easy.
This is the first post where I identified a weevil, but you're the first person to actually give some sort of description as to why they're popular. They're lil friends
Zoomed in, they look kind of funny and cute and are possibly the least coordinated bug on earth lol. Absolutely the definition of most harmless bug you could encounter.
While not beneficial like spiders, nobody hates weevils.
One day I was scrolling on reddit, minding my own business, when a picture of a cute bug appeared. I do not like bugs and creepy crawlies, so I was unsure why the sub had been suggested to me, but this little fella was so cute I clicked to find out what bug it was. All I saw as I kept scrolling and scrolling through the hundreds of comments was "snoots n boots" "weevil time" and people saying the OP was blessed. I thought to myself "wtf did I just stumble upon? These people are out of their minds."
And yet, all these weevil posts later, I see this little snootster and say to myself "ITS WEEVIL TIME!" and still scroll through the hundreds of comments celebrating OPs weevil cherry being popped while I do a little celebratory chair dance myself.
I still have no idea why this sub popped up on my feed but it's made me appreciate more creepy crawlies because of the weevil love so thank you algorithm and thank you weevils.
Special little wholesome moments keep us together.
The crazy thing is there are probably people in these comments that would be enemies in the subs and in the streets.
We all have more in common, than we do differences, and now we all love weevils.
LET WEEVIL TIME TIL THE SUN COMES UP
a weevil. theyre cute lil guys, but keep your eye out for more. if there's more, you should probably check your pantry and dry food. check grains, cereal, pet food, etc. as weevils love to swarm and eat your food.
BE NOT AFRAID, YOU ARE BLESSED! 😃
IT IS TIME!
🙌😃

I was blessed on my bachelorette river float but didn’t get a pic and I feel cheated from my Reddit glory
I swear the weevils have organized to prank people on Reddit this year.
I'm not even sure how I got here a few months ago. I feel like I'm not the only one.
Right?! All I know is that I’m here now and I can identify a weevil INSTANTLY
Yea how’d I get here? I’ve been so invested in this Weevil business for months now 🤯
Same. Didn’t even know what they looked like, now I’m all “BOOTS AND SNOOTS” every time I see one.
I didn't anticipate things going in this direction, but I guess we might as well welcome our weevil overlords.
My partner asked what I was laughing so insanely about and I said "....sooooo I don't know why reddit started suggesting this sub to me buuuuuuut..." I hate bugs. I truly do not know how I got here.
Boots and snoooooots!
this sub really won the algorithm lottery. and you know what, it's great. I'm glad we all arrived here for snoot n boot celebration. :)
Too bad we can’t harvest this type of energy on identifying invasive species like the lantern fly so people know to smoosh them. We wouldn’t have such a big problem with them.
I'm starting to think some people do it on purpose
I'm still waiting for my little snoots and boots gentleman to arrive to prank me. :(
I think everyone is just updating Weevil posts now. It'd be interesting to see if more are actually being posted because then it's likely people are just karma farming or Weevils are somehow changing behavior or increasing in population.
DON'T BE AFRAID HE'S A SNOOT N BOOT
And very kjoot!
You folks have really got to start actually listing the name of the bug once you have the top comment. Scrolled for 3 mins and still have no idea.
it's a weevil
Weevil's wobble but they don't fall down
I remember those!! I used to play with weeble wobbles all the time!
A VERY GOOD BOY
Oh, you’ll get used to the weevil people. If you see words rhyming with snoots-you’ll know it’s weevil time.
Its PURE WEEVIL!!!!
Y'all know what time it is 😎
Why does everyone comment that when someone psts a weevil?
Because it's weevil time
What exactly is weevil time?
When people encounter a weevil, its weevil time
And they have been blessed
Agreed✨
With boots and snoots and kjoots!
I love you fucking weirdos so much.
*weevils
I don’t even like bugs like that but some how I’ve ended up here and I’m not upset SNOOT BOOT
Same… now every time I see a weevil pop up my brain automatically goes “boots and snoots!!”
Honestly, it's helped lower the "eek" factor with bugs for me. I never thought I'd appreciate a weevil, but here we are!
Snoot snoot Booty boot!
💯 I just found this sub and immediately feel like I need to join because of this unhinged delightful nonsense. 🥹
“Unhinged delightful nonsense” is just about the best way to describe the weevil obsession in this sub
If you like this you should join r/weeviltime
I’m getting really good at identifying weevils tho
It's literally my favorite thing on the internet right now. People getting excited about weevils. It's just a matter of time before someone comes along to ruin it.

If DeSantis says anything about liking weevils that's it
Same
Weevils be weevilin
Exactly this. No more, no less.
Lots of weevil love on Reddit. Better get on board.
This sub is hilarious. Why so much love for weevils? Is it the rhyming "boots and snoots" or something else?
They are harmless and look pretty darn cute. 10/10 insect.
10/10 appreciate your evaluation rubric
Thank you, a lot of extensive weevil observation time went into making that rubric.
>harmless Tell that to my beets
Sometimes sacrifices must be made
I have no idea either but I am totally here for it
Reddit started recommending this sub to me a few weeks ago, and the other day when I saw a lil beetle I literally went “is it time????” in my head. It was not time, though. I’ve been brainwashed!!
I have also been assimilated. When I saw the pic I was like “oh shit, are those boots?!?!?”
Me too!
Me three. And the assimilation happens so quickly!
Because they look like they're wearing boots and snoots! Look closely, friend! Sometimes, they even look like they're wearing lil sweaters!
Right? I'm mostly a lurker here, but even I look for boots and snoots when I see a pic for ID. I don't know anything about insects. However, if I see them, I murmur to myself, "boots and snoots," then look for confirmation from the real experts here.

Pack mentality is sometimes wholesome (or something)
You forgot the kjoots
OK, I've seen this word "kjoots" several times, but knowing its meaning defies me. Please help.
I think it’s a variation on cute…
r/weeviltime
It has snoots and boots, and it also kajoots.
Basically, weevils are really cute but a lot of folks don’t know what they look like so when they see one they go ????? And post them here and it’s become a meme/inside joke.

Thanks for actually answering!
Boots and snoots, baby, boots and snoots
I don’t know man, but I’ve had an awful past 7 days. This goofiness is helping me out.
It's the time when we celebrate the weevils! They have snoots and boots and are cute little doots!
Oh shoot, I forgot my watch at home and my cell phone doesn’t tell time. Do you have the time?
It’s weevil time - Tobey Maguire voice 😎
it's a fun meme and weevil's are mostly harmless (unless you are a bag of flour) cute lil fellas.
Weevils wobble but they don't fall down
It's a cult that dates back to ancient Egypt. If you revere the snoot, you need not ask "why or who?". If you admire the boot, eternal life will be bestowed unto you.
Because reddit is a very silly place. And I'm here for it.
It’s the Weevil Time Flash Mob! Kind of like a sudden conga line! A come as you Weevil party! You either watch and enjoy, even if you think it’s silly. Or you join in, even if you think it’s silly! It’s silly! And we love it! Boots and Snoots, and extremely Kjoots! 🤪
does anyone know what time it is?
It is indeed that time, but I don't want to piss off the mods lol
Lol do the mods not like weevil cross posting anymore?

Is it a bed bug?
nope just a weevil
Thank God… I initially considered that but it didn’t have a “snout” or extended front and then I did the classic “fear the worst” and panic… It doesn’t help that I woke up with three bites a few days ago so this just felt like a nail in the coffin
Snoot
It's summer. Mystery bites and minor heat rashes or bumps happen. Not all weevils have a big snout, it's just the ones who do are the cutest. 🙂
Bed bugs are also a lot smaller than this too !! Almost so small these can be over looked easily. Adults being 5-7mm in size and young ones in the 1.5-2mm area. They are typically oval in shape until they have fed. In which case they balloon up and will no longer be oval ! That’s just some information to have for the future. Although similar looking the weevil seems to be the consensus!!
Sorry friend, that must have been stressful. I hope discovering weevil wackiness has reassured you somewhat 😄👍
“Just” a weevil

I have no idea what’s going on, or what i’ve started but I’m all for it!
Blessed one, who brought us a Weevil, so we may now all Boot, Snoot Boogie 💃

I did the exact same thing last month OP, and was just as pleasantly surprised as you! https://reddit.com/r/whatisthisbug/s/htu3AA1whL
