I wondered if anyone could help me identify an insect I found in my

garden.
It was bright red, like lily beetle but looked like a strawberry on

legs, it
had very definite dimples all over it's body and was very tiny, about

7mm
maximum. Does anyone know what it is?


Was it a Hazel Leaf-roller Weevil (Apoderus coryli)?

Or maybe the similar looking (apart from having no visible 'neck') Red Oak
Roller Beetle, (attelabus nitens)?
