Due to the shape of their heads, weevils are commonly known as snout beetles. There are over 60,000 species in several families, mostly in the family Curculionidae (the true weevils).

Polidrusus sp.
Green weevil also known in America as Green imigrant

see here for the ID

Polydrusus sericeus, also known as the green immigrant leaf weevil, is sometimes found in large numbers in nurseries in the late spring / early summer. This weevil is European in origin and first found in New York in 1906. They are reported to feed on leaves of trees such as apple, birch, oak, pear, poplar, strawberry and willow. They are rarely considered a pest. Their feeding can be more of a problem on smaller, liner-sized plant material. Their larvae feed on roots.

Excelente encuadre y originalidad en el montaje.Quizás un exceso de lux en la parte delantera del insecto pero que aún así permite ver los detalles. Muy bonita fotografía Tanja.
