Probably not a weevil, but I don't know bugs.
That’s a spotted lantern fly nymph. Technically she should crush it, but they’ve already spread everywhere so not sure if it matters at this point…

Apparently, predator animals and bugs have figured out that they're easy prey, so it looks like nature is adjusting?
Yes actually I saw a bird with one in its mouth, so hopefully they will be good eats and be kept in check. Despite seeing tons I haven’t heard of major ag issues where I am yet. Probably just took a year for the local predators to figure out they were valid food hehe.
I've been told by local gardening groups that when they feed on the sap of Trees of Heaven then laternflies become toxic to most birds, at least in my region.
There's a push to remove all trees of heaven in my county now.
nymph print you say?
Chitinous exoskeletons are all the rage in Milan right now
Now you have to take this weevil home and put in an cage with lots of plants.
Not the bugs fault that it's swish as FUCK
They do kinda look like weezils though
