A weevil is any beetle from the Curculionoidea superfamily. They are usually small, less than 6 millimetres (0.24 in), and herbivorous. There are over 60,000 species in several families, mostly in the family Curculionidae (the true weevils). Some other beetles, although not closely related, bear the name "weevil", such as the biscuit weevil (Stegobium paniceum), which belongs to the family Anobiidae.

In Indonesia, it’s known as Kumbang Moncong.
I found this yellow weevil in my father-in-law’s front yard.
Photos of Weevil (Kumbang Moncong) were taken using a camera phone Sony Ericsson K800i in Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesia.
