broad-nose/short-snouted weevil

5781  This bug was found inside our hotel room in Vernon BC. It is the third we have found in the bedroom.

Like Nos. 5779 and 5774, this is yet another broad-nose/short-snouted weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae; subfamily Entiminae). These weevils often enter buildings in search of shelter, but do no harm there. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
