Well this is the weevil in question. After a bit of research it looks like it's a Clay-coloured weevil. A minor pest of raspberries but native and not going to do much harm around here so it has been released. You can see how close it looks to VWs though. It's a little bit smaller and more tan than black but the same body shape.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
