Leptopius robustus
A creamy white weevil about 15 mm long with a short broad snout. The elytra (fore wings) were ridged and pitted with a pair of protuberances on either wing. The antennae appeared to have a black marking on the last segment.
Found on soft wooded shrubs.
Spotted this weevil on a callistemon bush. I was impressed at the design of the articulating joints - it looked like a "storm trooper".. http://lifeunseen.com/index2_list_454.ph...

Looks like it's made of plastic. Good shots; well done.
