Billbug

Billbugs and other Snout Beetles (Weevils) are easy to identify as far as the family because, well, they have a long elephantine nose, an unmistakable feature. Billbugs are members of the genus Sphenophorus. At the moment I'm unable to identify this specimen further.

**Remember to determine if you have a legitimate billbug problem (i.e. visible lawn/garden damage) before you kill these creatures. As with slugs and grubs, simply killing animals because they're "ugly" is wrong.
