Hey bayucca, thanks for that! Yeah, I think it is a weevil. I have seen many weevils while in the jungle tracks, but not this one. Almost a horse-like head. It would be cool if this is a new species found. :)

Curculionidae/Weevil. Same one like this, but unfortunately without an ID. I checked at least 500 weevil, but did not find a reasonable match.
