Weevil, Merimnetes celmisiae. It would be good to identify the plant on which it is feeding.
17 Dec 2023
Unfortunately I didn’t get a wider photo showing the entire plant. It was only a small rosette with fairly fleshy leaves. I’d recognize it if I saw it, I’ll get more photos if I’m up there again. Unless someone like @Tapirlord can ID it from these photos, but there isn’t very much to work with.
