Where's your nose, friend? For #WeevilWednesday I have a broad-nosed weevil, Phyllobius arborator. The Germans call weevils "Rüsselkäfer," which translates literally to "trunk beetles." A Grünrüssler would be a green trunk guy, I guess.

A weevil's mouthparts sit at the end of its nose, or rostrum. Broad-nosed weevils in the subfamily Entiminae have notable scarring on their mandibles, from where they lose their sharp poky teeth (deciduous processes) shortly after emerging as adults.
