Yep. I'll post it to BugGuide this weekend and see what they say. Thanks.

Thanks. The concavity is less pronounced on your weevil, but L. concavus is much more common. I couldn't do anything other than guess. For a more informed opinion, BugGuide is probably your best bet.

Nice spotting. I can easily see the concavity that makes is L. concavus. Still not sure whether the weevil I spotted (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22931012) is the same species, but your beautiful photos make the ID clear.
