GPSed. Estimate length 17-18mm. The Eastern three-lined skink in the top left corner photo was incidental i.e. it was running away and happened to cross paths with the weevil.

Thanks Mike. I got a message that this a new species for Dry Plain? But it isn't! See my 30 Oct 2021 sighting of same species also at Top Hut TSR Cubicorhynchus sp. (genus) (Ground weevil) .

OK thanks Kim. To my untrained eye it initially looked like my previous Cubicorhynchus sp. (genus) sighting (Cubicorhynchus sp. (genus) (Ground weevil)) at this site.
