Rhadinosomus lacordairei
Strange little thing ...not like other weevils with the long snout , this one rounded..long body ..entire length approx 1.3cms long and narrow, with distinct yellow dots on the upper wings
Hnaging out with leafhoppers and ants ..maybe a predator ...no fruit type plants anywhere near...small eucalypt new growth shrub
Very hard to ID ...another spotting here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/rob_dean/1... as it has similiar markings to the Rhinotia sp. ...but no way near as large . Another learn for the day - Weevils are actually beetles. Most belong to the family Curculionidae
