Found this little guy on some little leaves this morning. He is about 5mm long.
I was thinking he might be some sort of weevil, but I really have no clue.

C&C welcome and an ID if anyone knows what it is.

Thanks Joan. We had a big storm come through last night. I guess most of the critters were still in hiding..
