Weevil

5645 My name is Charlotte. This bug was found in Vanderhoof British Columbia.  I found this bug in my bathroom where swallows have gotten in and built a nest in the fan ducting above. They might be gone now as I can’t hear them.

This is a weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae); it looks like a member of the subfamily Entiminae (short-snouted/broad-nosed weevils). These often enter buildings in search of shelter, but do no harm there. I doubt very much that there would be any association with the swallow nest. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
