Fungus weevil?
Here's proof that you can find something interesting wherever you might be... I found this insect on my office wall last Friday. As you can tell from the pictures, it has a very interesting coloration on its back. Malinda & I looked through the Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity book, and we think it's a fungus weevil. Positive ID can be difficult when you're working with a live subject!
Photos were taken with one of our rugged Brock scopes and a point-and-shoot digital camera, proof that you can do a lot with what you have at hand.
