Scarce Fungus Weevil - two-in-one mimic?

[jeremiah]

This was crawling about on an information board at Old Sarum.

I got too close to it and it dropped off, and it took me a while to spot it - the right way up, it looks like a piece of dry twig, upside down and playing dead it looks like a bird dropping.

Are there any other insects that have two different camouflages?

Nice find. It's probably worth sending that record to the relevant person in your area. As for other insects with similar two-in-one mimicry, some of the long-horn beetles, especially some of the more exotic species seem to have evolved a similar strategy.
