Looks like some kind of longhorn beetle? Similar to this one:

Thanks troypiggo. Looks the same, but this one seems slimmer and longer. Same family, I bet.

Hehehe.. I'm using SP90 and lighting from 580exII diffused using LordV's creative coke can diffuser :)

Pinches = Those clippers/pliers on their mouth?

Here's another shot, this time the pinches in focus.
