I found this little guy wandering around the floor of the bedroom. I'm a little concerned its a woodworm (our house features alot of lovely wood!)

He was roughly about 5 or 6 mm long.

Thanks
Mia

This is not a woodworm, it is a short-snouted/broad-nosed weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae; subfamily Entiminae). The adults are leaf feeders that often come indoors during cool weather; their larvae primarily are root feeders.
