@KimberiRP Hi Kim, I haven't come across a weevil with these markings before and can't find a match on any other platform. Are you able to narrow it dow at all? Thanks

@KimberiRP Hi Kim, I see you did some beetle moderation last night. Have you had a look at this one yet, that I mentioned to you at the last Field Nats meeting. I still have the weevil and amazingly, it is still alive.
Thanks

Hi Alison, I finally got to this handsome little one. It's a Syarbis, in tribe Gonipterini, so (in our region) related to Gonipterus, Oxyops and Iptergonus. Syarbis are all small, and are distinguished by not having tarsal claws. The AFD lists 22 species in the genus, but there seems to be no images online of the majority.
