Von links anch rechts: Weißpunktiger Schwertlilienrüssler- Mononychus punctumalbum, beim 2ten bin ich bei einem der Spitzmausrüsslern- Oxystoma, dann ein Borstiger Wurzelrüssler- Sciaphilus asperatus, der grüne ist wahrscheinlich ein Nessel-Blattrüssler - Phyllobius pomaceus und der letzte ist ein Kupferroter Pflaumenstecher - Involvulus cupreus.
1,2: Aegorhinus phaleratus
5,6: Aegorhinus superciliosus
3,4,7,8,9,10: Rhyephenes humeralis

Pardon me dear weevil people, but I found this little fellow on the rug in my bedroom (I have several dogs). After a tick panic meltdown because we found two ticks on one of the dogs in the last week, I realized that little homie only has six legs. Phew! I think it is perhaps a fungus weevil? Thoughts? Also, I live in the Midwest, if that helps.
They sort of took over a bag of birdseed unfortunately (and had to toss) but in the meantime, just wanted to make sure these are some small, fancy snoot weevils? Rice weevils I think?
I tried to pick up that little fella peacefully and found out: when feeling threatened, they do a flip and play dead! 😅
Dead beetle I found next to it for reference
I didn't know these guys were soo chill? This dude climbed up my hand😭😭
Acting skills unmatched.
