Yellow stripes on its black abdomen, with a long "snout" with antennae at the end of the snout.
Tropical rainforest, found within decaying wood.
Maybe some sort of weevil? I'm at a loss for what this one is.

Nance, that does seem pretty close. I think that's the correct family--I've found a local species in that family and its morphology is similar.
This seems awfully close: http://www.amazilia.net/images/Inverts/C...
I have got to spot one of those elongated weevils too.
i definately think its a weevil, limited to tropical distribution as i have seen similar ones in indonesia.
this is bizarre. I agree, its possibly a weevil
