Size of Weevil
Sorry, the size I put was just an estimate. I see that this species is normally not much longer than 3 mm, which this could have been. I could measure the wrinkles in my finger (where I photographed it) if necessary, and get a better estimate of size.

Sorry, no, I didn't collect a specimen, but the park I found it in is only a block from my house and I could try to find more.

This weevil first found me....it landed on my leg and then I caught it for photos.

I took half a dozen other photos, but this is probably the best one.

Moved from ID Request. hoping this is Curculio rubidus; was size measured or just an estimate?

Curculio rubidus
Yes, this is Curculio rubidus and its the second Canadian record as far as I know (first for Ontario). Did you keep the specimen?
