Curculio nucum
found in sweep net, Bald Hill Park, Corvallis, OR
found in a sweep of grass under Quercus garryana, oregon white oak.
i might have the species ID wrong. It looks more like C. nucum (compared to C. glandium) on the wikipedia page using the image of the antennae, but I have not keyed it out and am not a weevil expert.

Thank you LauranZarate and SukanyaDatta!
Pretty weevil. Almost looks like a sunbird. What a shot! Congrats.
Great shot!
Thank you, LuckyLogan!
Nice picture! Nut weevils are hard to ID, so I can't help.
