I went through the guide and found that this weevil looks like Diaprepes abbreviatus; is there anything similar that might be confused with it?

Thanks!
And now that I've read up on these guys, I think I'll start removing them when I see them. Don't want the neighbors to blame me for their troubles!

Thanks, Blaine!
Had a nice stormy-sky background. The water on the weevil, though, is from my hose. I noticed the insect as I was watering the plants...
