Might have caught a ride with me to the US from Peru. They were in a bag of roasted corn, and since winter break when i came here with it... they've propagated and there seem to be dozens of them. You cant tell the color from my shitty digital camera, but it's Black with orange/brown sections on its thorax... On some of the smaller ones the entire back in brown/orange. It looks to me to be a weevil like thing, but i really don't have a clue and now i'm afraid i may have unleashed a pest insect on north Florida...

Any info would be appreciated...
