Curculionidae; Sitophilus? - Sitophilus
Avondale, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
March 12, 2024
Size: ~3 mm body w/o snout
Found floating on the surface of rainwater in an outside bin at 4:45 p.m. Each dark reddish-brown elytra had a lighter orangish spot at the top and bottom (four markings total) with clear wings underneath. This live weevil was measured for accuracy and the snout was just short of 1 mm in length.
