weevil on milkweed - Rhyssomatus lineaticollis

weevil on milkweed - Rhyssomatus lineaticollis
Thornhill, Ontario, Canada
June 6, 2008
I found a whole bunch of these weevils all on various milkweed plants. This one had tapped the leaf vein and was drinking the thick milky sap coming out. Any ideas about what kind of weevil this is?

Rhyssomatus lineaticollis
I think I found my own ID... I will assume this is Rhyssomatus lineaticollis unless someone would like to challenge me on that.
