Funny beetles having fun ... ( snout beetles-weevil / neuskever)

They are about 3mm. Location Belgium - Found them in the garden.
It's a Aspidapion radiolus - also known as snout beetle or weevil, thanks Nuytsia@Tas (and the ID_Please group)

Was trying out how far I could push the iso before it became unusable. (got to iso 1000 before I couldn't find them anymore.)

Very nice picture! :-)

One comment though, wevil or snout beetle is probably not the common name for this specie, but rather a higher taxa. There are many families of weevils and lots of species!
