Weevil with 'tusks' (Glochinorhinus doubledayi)

Glochinorhinus doubledayi Waterhouse, 1853. Thanks to Nicholas Fisher for providing the determination on related image. Found at Main Range National Park, off Crest car park. Queensland, Australia.

 

Found on a tree/log at side of trail on Rainforest circuit.

 

I did not notice that it was a 'warthog mimic' (;-) until processing the photos. Otherwise I would have tried for some full-on face shots.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
