Ok, I understand. I didn't do it, but it seems a good idea. Now that I am in contact with some biologists, they want more detailed info, so I think it is time to stop being lazy, and starting to work... :-)
Hi again. What I meant was do you keep a list of species spotted, like bird watchers who have "life lists" in which they record each species they have ever seen. Perhaps insect watchers do not do that.
I think it's a weevil, maybe in the subfamily Brentinae. It looks a lot like this one, but I don't think it's the same species: bugguide.net/node/view/285658/bgpage

Nopayahnah, I have my spotings archived by place and date. I have some, right now... About where I find them, please read my answer to Ashish:

Do you keep a record of how many different insects you have spotted? Where do you find them all?
Jumpingsdpiderman & Bayucca: Thank you both. I'd never guess it is a weevil!!!
I agree with Brentidae, looks like being a female.
