This little fellow was walking down my wall this afternoon; it's a bit smaller than a thumbnail. I hadn't noticed the hooks on its feet until I processed it in Photoshop, do all beetles have hooks. An ID would be appreciated, thanks in advance.:) C+C Welcome.

Excellent shots. According to my book it's a vine weevil Otiorhynchus sulcatus.

You bad! Yup, it's a weevil. Nice shots, especially given its size.
