Antennae say Curculionidae, but everything else doesn't really fit! Unless we have a weird wide-headed minimal/no snouted one! On heather in the New Forest, Hampshire.  |

Certainly looks like Curculionidae!
Maybe it's just lost it's 'nose'?
Looks similar to Strophosoma sus...

Looks close doesn't it? These seem to be the known UK species data.nbn.org.uk/Taxa/NHMSYS0020153543The subfamily Entiminae seems to be a definite, not sure how I didn't find that in my subfamily search before. The common name "broad-nosed weevils" kind of gives it away. |

You might have had it. I went through the British checklist and it is "Neliocarus" sus, a common heather-associated species. EDIT: Just confirmed it used to be called Strophosoma sus.
