You are my hero (again), Ashish. I looked and looked and never found that. But that is our beetle.

I looked, Ashish. But if you look at the last photo it doesn't have a snout; it seems its neck is a bit longer than usual. I also checked thelong-necked beetles but didn't come up with anything there either.
