All excellent info - thanks for teaching us oxyjack.

Here's another species with a similar snout: http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/artour_a/51...

It's definitely not a weevil (it has wings, not elytra), and no moths have a snout like that. However, it does resemble some of the odd fulgorids I've seen in the insect collections where I've worked over the past 11 years though.

This Australian species has a longer snout, but it's similar: http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...

Yes, we have some tropical fulgorids in our collection that are over 7 cm long. They can get quite large in warmer climates.

I believe it's a Fulgorid plant hopper.
