It looks like a weevil. A beetle in the family Curculionidae. They are herbivores and the young (larvae) can consume seeds of bean plants, and other plants.

I get that. But given its long beak like mouth-modification, it's very peculiar to the kind. Would't you say?
As for the pest density, there were very few of them. over 8 years ago.

the long beak is a characteristic of this family of beetles. It is what identifies them
Are they still present?
How big is your field?
Try flicking them with your hands into a container of soapy water.
