Micro Weevil

Description:

Small weevil of 3 mm in length, the smallest I've ever encountered. Light red-brown with darker mottled coloring on the thorax and elytra. Short nosed with one mandible longer than the other (something I often see in weevils). It has short sparse bristles on the elytra and legs. Family Curculionidae.
