A beetle to identify please

Hello,

Here is a bug I photographied within my "Malus" last May 31st, 2008 at Sherbrooke, Quebec (near Vermont).

I'm suspecting European Snout Beetle (Phyllobius oblongus) but I'm not sure...

Do you have any idea about its identification?

Thank you very much in advance!

Michel

I don't know what it is, but that first photo came out exceptionally nice!

Hello,

Thank you very much for your kind words! It is really appreciated :-)

First of all I received confirmation that is is really the European Snout Beetle (4mm long).

The first picture is the only one I keep (the 2 other was used only for the identification).

No piece of paper and picture took during the day. The black is caused by a cedar hedge far enough to get this effect with the flash :-)

Cheers,

Michel
