WeevilsLooked like a walkingstick with antlers!

While in the sideyard in Mid-May, I spotted this strange creature on a wooden fence. I hurried for the camera and took two photos before it crawled away. I have never seen one like it before or since that day. My research has turned up nothing similar either.

Tropical Weevil
Hi Gail,
The last time we received an image of this Tropical Weevil, Brentus anchorago, the photograph was taken in Costa Rica. It is, according to BugGuide: “widespread in neotropics: Mexico, West Indies, South America. In North America, found only in southernmost Florida.”
