Broad-nosed Weevil

Found on a variety of plants, shrubs, and deciduous trees in gardens, forests, and grassy areas.

Adults primarily feed on the leaves of host plants, while larvae often feed on roots in the soil.

They are primarily nocturnal feeders but can be seen during the day. Many species are flightless and will drop to the ground and play dead (thanatosis) when disturbed.

Generally considered minor garden pests due to leaf-notching; however, they pose no risk to humans and provide a food source for birds and predatory insects.
