Dear Bugman
I found this bug today, the 21st of January, in my garden. I would like to know what bug this is and what it eats, please.
We are experiencing summer here in South Africa and I live on the highveld in Johannesburg.
I have included three of my best photos of my bug.
Thanks very much

Dear MAP,
This is some species of Weevil, but we are uncertain of its exact identity. Weevils belong to a large family of Beetles and many of them are characterized by a long snout which gives them a comical appearance. Many Weevils are considered agricultural pests of various crops and other Weevils will infest stored foods. We will continue to try to identify this species.
