interesting little critter, like the first/original. Maybe scale back on the makeup a little next time. too much of the detail seems gone.(or maybe its just lost in the monitors translation)

A weevil of some sort. I like the natural turquoise coloring.

This appears to be a Botany Bay Weevil according to an Australian web site on insects. This is a snout beetle in the Family Curculionidae, Order Coleoptera.
