Can anyone please tell me the difference in appearence between a ground
Beatle and a Vine Weavel Beatle. Any help would be appreciated.


Ground beatles are shiny, if disturbed tend to leg it, vine weevils are dull
black and if you look closely have orange spots on them and if disturbed
play dead.

More generally, weevils (of all types) have long 'noses'; and they tend
to be slower and more cautious than beetles.
