I found this while I was trimming up my bonsai Hawthorne.
Its rather desiccated but it looks like a weevil of some sort?

Never seen anything like that, looks like something from an alien film

If you look at it in "real life" it does look like a weevil, however in was deep in the middle of a tangled mess of a tree,
so it may have been there a year or two ( the last time the tree was pruned).

Interesting shot. Not looking too tasty, though.

It looks to me like a gall of some sort
