I returned to the same spot where I previously found these, but this time I only found dead ones. There was quite a cold/wet snap recently (snow in Feb!), so hopefully most of the population has headed underground.

I was pretty sure this was a flax weevil, since it was a large weevil on flax. But now I'm not sure I can rule out A. oconnori either. Any help would be much appreciated! Found well above the treeline.

Saw at Orokunui ecosanctuary. I am not super familiar with local beetles so went for the genus reccomended by the app, if anyone can give a more specific ID it would be appreciated.
