Unknown Insect Carrying A Beetle

OldTime Aug 27, 2007 08:04 PM

Hey I found this intelligent looking insect in Northern NJ a few weeks ago. Can't find any info about it on the web. Can anyone tell me what this is? Is it a weevil of some kind? It was found right near a reservoir and it seems to be carrying a beetle . . . lunch?
