I've added another pair of pics (or pics of pairs, if you like) to this spotting.
I find them here eating Lilac leaves and they blend into the gray colored bark.
I think these weevils are fascinating. I find them here in the garden.
Cool bug!
We used to call these kockamookas when kids. They are plentiful amongst the ti-tree at Balnarring and Somers beaches for example. I always remember them around the sallow wattle.
