Polydrusus sp.
Very similar to Phyllobius Weevils. Separating Phyllobius and Polydrusus Weevils is by the position of the antennal insertion on the head. In all Phyllobius sp, the insertion point is viewable from above, whilst not visible from above in Polydrusus sp. since the insertion point is more lateral.
Spotted on a broom shrub. Pine tree forest in the mountains above 1000 m. high. Parque Nacional de Sierra de Guadarrama
