What a beautiful insect! It's a straight-snouted weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae; subfamily Brentinae); it resembles some species in the tribe Trachelizini - see https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/181045331/large.jpg for an example. Colombia hosts many species of these, but I have been unable to locate a comprehensive work on them.

Yumbo, Colombia

Thank you very much.
