I noticed the Mantis crawling up the wall yesterday, but figured I would let it settle before taking pictures. While I was out there I thought I saw a Weevil, which I thought was cool because I'd never seen one before. As soon as I got the camera out though I realized that it's not a weevil. What I thought was it's nose turned out to be two long antennae. Any help with ID would be greatly appreciated!

This was the first shot. I still had all 3 extension tubes on, so perhaps a little too close up, haha.

This is the only full body shot I got. Any idea on Genus?

I have absolutely no clue what this one is.

Basically the same shot, but lit from the back. It might not be as good from an ID aspect, but I like it quite a bit.

Very cool beetle. Long horn I would guess as well. Never seen that one before. Great shots.

agreed it looks like a Longhorn beetle though I have not seen them shown holding their antennae straight out like that. The first capture of it looks best to me.
