A Weevil ? I'm off to Google it. I knew it would have evil in its name.

maybe it is a giant weevil...sometimes an indication that you have a damp spot...

I think you'll find the 6mm version is the lesser of two weevil's

I agree with pamelajean, it's a Pine Weevil! Lovely details and you've caught it brilliantly!

Cracking shot great detail, after a search of about 15mins I think I found it, it looks like a vine weevil (otiorhynchus sulcatus) well captured
