Platystomos albinus, Anthribus albinus
Beetle, black with white snout, two white spots on its behind and a white end section.
Mixed forest, on a decomposing pine branch. Weather; warm and sunny, low humidity.
I am not sure what species this is, but as far as I know this might be a kind of Entiminae.

And there you go! :D
Thank you Jopy, however...my spotting have 8 elevated spots on its back, three on the midsection and white spots on its antenna that isn't present in your suggestion, it is a good guess and I will pursue this in the morning, it might be a subspecies of your suggestion :)
Tropideres albirostris
Is it maybe this one: http://www.koleopterologie.de/gallery/fa...

It is definitely a weevil, but I can't find any pictures of anything resembling this one, only in Norway there are over 300 species of this family, but so few pictures that I have not much to go on, thanks anyway friend :)
weevil of some sort?
