No, that's not it's real name, I made it up when asked what it was.
I have no idea what it really is. It's resting on (sucking the life from?) my Corkscrew vine (Vigna caracalla).
Your thoughts appreciated.
CLOSED: Green-backed Liver Snipe
From the side:
hanging on:
for scale:
It is definitely a Weevil from the large beetle family Curculionidae, but there are so many of them, that I cannot so far tell you which,

weevil BAD... right?
I don't think all weevils are bad, but there are certainly some nasties amongst them!
Whatcha think? Southern Blue-green Citrus Root Weevil (Pachnaeus litus)

ooh, nicely nicely done. I'm sure that's him -- and to anyone wondering about his black bits, while looking up "weevil" stuff, I discovered that they often lose their colorful "scales" and their black shows through.
I thought he looked a bit corroded. ;)
Thanks, kennedy and cj!
He does have that tapered weevil look about him, how 'bout Green Backed Liver Weevil?
When it comes to weevils, just remember, you can't spell weevil without evil ;o)
