Thanks for pointing us in the right direction! It's amazing that you know a lot about insects.

Well....I'm happy to have gotten the genus correct...I'm no entomologist. But I sure love insects.

Thanks ceherzog! I did look at the article but Phyllobius intrusus has a toothed femora while this weevil has a simple one. I IDd this as Phyllobius roboretanus.

Could this be the Arborvitae weevil. Scroll down in the article for pics http://biolitt.biofokus.no/rapporter/nje/57-2/nje-vol57-no2-odegaard-berggren.pdf GREAT photos!
