Brown beetles.. A harder one.. Can you describe them a bit better?
How long are they in mm (or in relation to a 1p or something??) Have
you seen them fly? Do they have any spots? Antennae, long or short? Do
they move fast or slow? Like sunny places or hide away...

Is there any way you can post a photo or put one in the scanner?

Some beetles are good.. Others are bad..

One of the main things seems to be - has it got a long nose? Long nose =
weevil and weevils seem more likely to be 'bad'.
Although a colleague of mine whose job was the study of weevils told me
how much more intelligent they were than beetles - beetles scurry all
over the place, weevils travel cautiously, trying out the way before
taking a step.

Hi Kay

Don't like the sound of the slow-moving bit, as for getting a looks at the
nose, well, it stopped raining today but not a beetle in sight ....

Yours, faithfully hoping I don't have weevil and have to throw all my new
pots out!! Will Google go see if there's a picture - thanks anyway! Shaz
