Thank you Mark.
It does look like a Gonipterus species except that this weevil is much smaller, at only 4mm in length. As for school, I have one last school project to do so once I have finished it, I will be a free man. Do wait for me till then :-)

Strange little weevil. If this was an Aussie it might be Gonipterus. School's far more important Chun. We'll be here.
