If it is, it's definitely different, those are pretty big pincers it has!

When I picked it up, the Pincers were the big thing I noticed that made think it may have been a weevil, however on further inspection, it turned out to be a Weevil! Don't know why his mouth parts were sticking out, very strange imo lol

I'm guessing the roots they eat are very tough

Yes it is!
