I dont believe this beetle is a red palm weevil. Its the same family but not the same specie

Yes, palm trees outside............more exactly, there were palm trees around a few months ago, but now there are not. I think that he is the responsible! I have ear a lot about the red palm weevil, but I never saw it!! Thanks Ashish!!
