I found this little fellow after photographing some white Lamium flowers. I have no idea what kind it is, but it is about an inch long tops, incuding antannae.

Curculionidae, I suppose.

Hmm, I have no idea what genera are in that family but does it include the Nettle Weevil?
(The plant its on maybe a stinging nettle)

I'm not that familiar with terrestrial species to tell you anything about the family or genus but why not an Anthribidae?
