Friend or Foe.

Just a random pest question for you all.
This weird little critter has taken a liking to setting up shop in my Trident.
He's a weird looking guy with a body similar to a spider but not quite. It's approximately 1-1.5cm long with a big old butt and little head.
He doesn't seem to be doing any harm to my Trident, but I don't want him to move trees once the leaves drop and destroy something nearby.
Cheers,
Pearcy.

Looks like a weevil, they come in may shapes, best to remove them.

Thanks greatly guys, I'll be disposing of him as soon as I get home. First noticed it the other day then today I went out and found it again on the same tree in a different spot. Fingers crossed I can find h again

Make sure you pick the lesser of two weevil's.

Last night the evil was sacrificed to the Bonsai Gods. May they shine down on my trees over the seasons to come.
Down with the Weevil!
