Weevil - Lixus macer

Weevil - Lixus macer
Raccoon Creek State Park, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, USA
June 12, 2010
Size: ~ 3/4" long
I stopped to take a break, and found this lil fellow. He was meandering around a small plant.
He let me take some photo's, but when I tapped the leaf in an attempt to get him to stop, amazingly, he froze, and then rolled onto his back and played dead, as you can see by photo 2.

Im guessing at Rhubarb weevil, since it looks nothing like the pine weevil I originally thought it was. Any clarification would be appreciated.
