Curculio weevil
by: Moni

Your little beetle is one of the nut and acorn weevils in the genus Curculio. The long nose is helpful for ID.
The females of the genus Curculio have snouts longer than their bodies...almost looks that way with your photo, but not sure.
The long snout is used by the female to bore into nuts/acorns to deposit eggs there. The larvae then feed inside the nut until it is ready to pupate at which time it emerges and goes into the soil.

Weevils are known to play dead when they are disturbed. Keep watching and they will start to move. :-)
