Hmmmmm. Based on your attempts so far may I suggest a magnifying glass and direct sunlight?

Jeff's a vine weevil. He and his mates will eat the leaves of your plants and their offspring will eat the roots. Specific treatments are available. If you have a garden, get rid.

TD: I wasnt the one to Febreeze and Bleach it, I had a friend round at the time. I now have a really nice smelling white patch on my living room carpet... ha

Sticks: Thanks for that, Jeff went out of the window to be back with his friends. I just dont like the idea of them coming through my front door!

Vine weevils are one of the few things I kill on sight. One year I went out in the garden and every plant I touched fell over - with vine weevil grubs amongst the roots.

Try crushing one and you will see how tough they are... little Panzers.

The funny thing about them is that you never see them move. They are just suddenly there... not moving...
