Curculionidae
I came across this beetle on the beach just outside of Kuşadası, Turkey. It was only about the size of my thumb nail, with quite a pointed end to its wing shells. The colouration was almost a metallic yellow with dark brown stripes.

Yes oxyjack, I came across all three beetles on the same stretch of beach on the same afternoon last week.
You're welcome! Was this found near the seashore too?
Thank you again oxyjack.
Handsome weevil! This is a broad-nosed weevil. Family Curculionidae, Subfamily Entiminae.
