    Looks like a weevil but as to species, bit hard to tell but someone here might have an idea

    What size?
    Quite likely Vine Weevel and has emerged from a pot plant like a cyclamen. The larvae love to much on roots of many plants.

    about the size of a thumbnail on your small finger mate. theres a small garden outside so maybe they came in from there as the balcony door would be open a lot. do they breed a lot ? have seen about 8/9 of them in the last 2 months

    Size seems right for Vine Weevil.
    A plants roots can have dozens of grubs. If I come across them, I call the hens over :)
    I often see adults crawling up walls and windows. They don't fly. The adults cut notches out of leaves, but the larvae are more damaging with their appetite for roots.
