A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife

Brilliant white body and head with a few distinct spots. Turqoise arms (never seen that color in nature before) and biege mouth area and feet. I think it is from the family Curculionidae. Please correct me!
In the Amazon forest outside of Puerto Nariño, a small community which is 4 hours upriver from Leticia, Colombia.

Thanks everyone! It's nice to see people (almost) as enthusiastic as I was when I first saw this guy. My heart stopped.
