Weevils ... ?

Not sure where to start with these little beasties - seen either in Forest Farm or from the path running through the Coryton Roundabout to Tongwynlais.

I must have records of at least 10 different looking weevils for which only 3 have been identified to species and 2 to family. The others are either 'anon brown weevil' or 'anon green weevil'. I would be grateful for any pointers but am resigned to increasing the images in the anon files.

    The first one looks good for Liophloeus tessulatus, and the last one the nettle weevil Phyllobius pomaceus. The second one is a Polydrusus sp.

    Thanks George. I had pencilled in Polydrusus for No. 2 but had nothing for the others. They have now been rescued from the dreaded 'anon box'.
