Everything I have read about the says they are nite time chaps. But I have
something thats very weevil like and there are loads over my salad crops and
corn and wallflowers. I have had weevil larve over winter so I am still
thinking its these chaps? They are very slow and easy to catch but there are
so many that in a day they have decimated my salads so much so I gave up.
I would says they are max 5mm long, round bottom end with a slight stripe.
They have a darker head and nose and the nose is very pointy. Are these
weevils?
Weevils are distinguished from beetles by having a long pillar-thing
sticking out of the front of their face - a rostrum???? - with, IIRC,
feeler like things on the end of it.
They also tend to be slow moving and careful
This is weevils in general - there are lots of different species of
them, not just vine weevils.
