I think we need a new subforum where all the people who need IDs for their bugs can post... 
What is it?  |

we just post them in the insects and invertebrates 
what you have there is some kind of weevil. can you post size, location, and time of year if it is not a recent pic. those are all important factors in IDing

Yep, just post 'em here!
It looks like a vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus to me! Not too sure of whether you have it in Croatia, but it fits... |

It could also be Otiorhynchus aurifer , the way you differenciate it from O.sulcatus is that the latter has a tooth on the front femur, unless you have another photo of this showings this feature, we will have to leave it as Otiorhynchus sp with either species a possibility. The more defined colouration makes me think its O.aurifer but this is very variable and doesnt mean much. |

Tooth? I don't see it. I googled both of their pictures. Can you explain some more...
<off-topic>
And if I may add something to your signature.. Not only that the other side doesn't know it's in the "game", the other side is dead..
I don't think this suits in a definition of SPORT.

The front legs have a little spike on the first section. You should be able to see it. Its less defined in the other species.
Yes I agree about the sport bit. | | | |
