Weevil
by: Moni

Bugman
Your insect is a weevil in the Curculionidae family. It is probably in the genus Anthonomus. Without information on actual size, what it eats, and probably getting it under a microscope it would be difficult to get the ID any closer.
This is the genus that includes the boll weevil, pepper weevil and strawberry clipper.
The adult weevils are known to play dead when you disturb them.
Both the larva and adults feed on plants and like those listed many are important pests since they chew holes in fruits, seeds, nuts, etc.
