Curculionoidea, not sure if really Curculionidae, but it is a long-legged weevil. Similar ones, most probably the same family: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nickadel/8329240948/ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Insect-Long-leged-Curculionidae-sp-Mindoro-Pair-10mm-/360857879100?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5404ce423c
