Hi, I have photographed this weevil in April, in a deciduous forest, 20km west of Paris. About 5mm long. I guess this is a Curculionidae but it is possible to go further, to the genus or species? Thanks for your help! FRV FRV attached the following image:  [195.78Kb] |

Hi, seems to be one of the Apionidae - do you remember the plant? Eric |

Thanks Eric, the plant is a common bluebell I think. FRV |

Reminds me more of Involvulus caeruleus (Rhynchitidae) [but I'm no expert on beetles!]
