YES!!!! without a doubt the vine weevils can come with the compost. White with brown head...they are a real pain in the neck. I would be straight down to the supplier with my hand out. However it is possible to have a resident population. There will no doubt be some in the garden under shrubs etc

Indoors Strawberries are notoriously prone -as are primulas and heuceras. The adults are around in summer and the grubs the rest of the time. So unless it is a long term plant ie not a courgette.... i'd definitely be suspicious of the compost.
