broad-nose/short-snouted weevil

 5826  The photo was taken in Mississauga, Ont. on Oct.11/16. The bug is dead, my husband found it crawling on the wall upstairs in our house and squished it, so a leg or two might not be showing up but I think the photos are fairly clear. I hope you can identify it and let me know what it is and if I need to do anything to eliminate any future visits by its friends.  Thanks so much.  June

This is a broad-nose/short-snouted weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae; subfamily Entiminae). These weevils often enter buildings in search of shelter, but do no harm there. See nos. 5781, 5779, and 5774 for other examples. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
