This is a photo of a Fruit Weevil. There are many types of weevils and one of the things they all have in common is the long snout.
While looking for something to photograph, I thought I had spotted a weevil of some sort. When I got home to look at my weevil photo, I discovered it was a piece of loose bark. Time to make an appointment with my eye doctor.
Funny! It does look like a weevil, though. Have you heard of the Giraffe-necked Weevil? They're fascinating.

Yes! I actually did a paper sculpture of them. You can find them here on the Dec 15, 2011 post.
