Yes:-)
The "hollyhock weevil," duh. LOL! I believe the Latin is Apion longirostre, owing to the long "beak."

Comments like yours make my day. I'm doing fine, but in the lab alone for the next couple months or so. I don't see my housemates often, either, so it is kinda lonely....Thanks for asking!

;o) Happy to put a smile on your face. Good thing I have a sense of humor, because I am often the butt of my own joke, and I don't even have to try. I'm glad the job is going well. I can imagine that the bugs are not the best of companions. Don't be too worried, until you start having conversations with them.
