Beetles - Weevils

Just found this...

Weevils (Coleoptera) | Royal Entomological Society

"
Weevils are a highly successful group of beetles (the Curculionidae) characterised by their prominent snout (called a rostrum) with jaws at the tip. This family is represented by more than 400 species in Britain. They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae located halfway down the rostrum. "

Looking at your antennae I'd say it's not a weevil.

Not a weevil, most have a distinctive proboscis and long antennae. It looks like a chafer of some sort especially due to the triangle between the wing cases just behind the thorax. Possibly Aphodius fimetarius?
