Thanks for pointing us in the right direction! It's amazing that you know a lot about insects.

Well....I'm happy to have gotten the genus correct...I'm no entomologist. But I sure love insects.

Thanks ceherzog! I did look at the article but Phyllobius intrusus has a toothed femora while this weevil has a simple one. I IDd this as Phyllobius roboretanus.
