Weevil or Kärsäkäs in Finnish. They are vegetarians. Just take it easy and swipe to the right on your phone camera. Select “Macro” and take a close up. Also add some light to get a better picture.
It looks like “tukkimiehentäi” but maybe smaller. When I was working at sawmill, there was hundreds of them. I always hated stepping over those because I felt the crunch under my safety shoes.
They are harmless but they can grip pretty tight. I had one crawling up my neck and when removed my skin stretched. Didn’t hurt at all though. Old coworker said that when he was a kid, he would find one for every finger tip and then tapped a table with this improvised finger-weevil instrument.
Check your pantry. Check open packages and anything that is not in sealed plastic, flour, biscuit, nuts. Check under the fridge and behind the kitchen plinth to make sure there is not some piece of food.
Got a walnut under a fridge once, discovered those guys thriving on it, traced back to a flour bag, as it was up in the cupboard some lone explorer dropped and found the nut the lone explorer had settled another group. As said, they can live for a long time with no food apparently so even if you find some, you might have to check for a while. It might also be an explorer from neighboring flat.
Its a bug

There is a whole fan group, where we send love to these little guys!
Might be a rice weevil. I once saw one in a rice package and panicked but found out later they are completely harmless.

I do not know what that thing is, but looks like it belongs to the weevil family.
In which case it is harmless.
It will probably be fixed by Microsoft next patch
Looks like a large pine weevil (tukkimiehentäi in FInnish) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hylobius_abietis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hylobius_abietis)
