    Yes it's definatly a weevil. Some species are ok to have around the house and others are really not ok as they get into food. I can't tell you which this is as there are thousands of species. how many do you find round the house and where abouts in the house do you find them>? it might be they are coming in from the woods outside, or if there are loads in the kitchen they might be breeding, in which case I'd call pest control.

    What country are you in by the way? That'd narrow down which species it'd be. What kind of forests also, deciduous or coniferous? And what is the main species of tree? Is the land around you agricultural? If you narrow it down for me I'll have another look for you.

    Looks like a wood boring beetle to me, which is hardly surprising given your location.

    Just make sure that the timber in your house has been treated against them.

    I still suspect you are a dirty filthy bugger.

    That isn't a weevil.

    Looks like some sort of small June Bug.

    Hey, thanks for the hilarious zoological speculations.
    was off painting wooden floating thing.

    I looked at both the "weevil" and "wood boring beetle",
    both seemed correct,
    Hence i have a case of "Boring Weevil"
    although i think weevil is closest, i hope cause our house is made of wood...
    although the weevil seems to be focused on damp cooler areas (my poor bed crotch) and tend to go for wheaty foods (not nipples).

    There seems to be no indication that they drill into your ear and lay eggs in your brain while you sleep, the offspring of which cause you to write hessian texts.
    nor do they eat money from your pocket, hence someone else is to blame.

    On a positive note, my kid & i collected a bunch of them and freed them into a swimming pool of turquoise battery acid as it stated on the site. (only way to kill aliens)

    One trick i learned from this is, to discard the vacuum cleaning bag after sucking them all into the black hole, so that they do not simply crawl out again.
