Hey all,

 

I found this guy on my plants this morning. I think he looks a bit like a vine weevil but the head section is a little different. Can anyone here help with identifying this beetle please, also should I be worried?

I have kept him trapped for the moment so I can try and get more/ better pictures if needed.

 

thanks for the help

I have been doing some research online and is there any chance this is a ground beetle, a member of the Carabidae family? I don't think its wing case is fused though as I have seen it show wings when trying to right itself after capture.....
