Hi, I have photographed this very small beetle on autumn crocus (Colchicum montanum) in Asturias (Spain) last August. Habitat : meadow 1400m asl. I'm not sure it's a weevil. Any idea of its identity? Very small : about 3mm. Cheers, FRV FRV attached the following image:  [201.24Kb] |

It belongs to the seed beetles (Bruchinae), a subfamily of Chrysomelidae, formerly a family of its own. This is a very tricky group, so I do not dare to say more, sorry! Regards, Sundew |

Bruchinae - Chrysomelidae, but very hard to identify the group as Sundew mentioned. They can be seen in various locatins in Spain. I had a chance to take a lot of photos of them during my trip in Spain when I was looking for a property for sale in Spain. They are really lovely creatures. |

Yes ... after having seen some pics on internet, I thought it could be Bruchius. |
