I caught it around my neck yesterday. When I touched it, it squealed loudly. Because I had never met such creatures before, I became very interested in them. So I took it on my mobile phone and posted it here: http://youtu.be/NLLs4rNpfFY The quality of the original is much better, but it weighs a gig and I ran it through a video editor and the output was not quite ND quality((. I'm not an entomologist myself, so don't look at my username. Apart from an ant a mosquito a butterfly a bee a wasp and of course the most annoying and annoying insect in the world a fly I don't know anyone. I'll be glad if you can identify it. It will be interesting to know what kind of bug we have..

1) This is some kind of weevil beetle (elephant) - the family Curculionidae.
2) Move the post here to this topic: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtop...50#entry1491696 - it will be determined faster: there are specialists on elephants on the site.
3) When moving the post, be sure to indicate where (geographical location) the bug was found - this will make it easier to determine.
