Wow, that must have rode a ship up to Florida. Never seen one like that, I have the traditional ones in my garden. Another invasive species for Florida, hope that thing eats fire ants and mosquitoes.

Thanks everyone.

FWIW the app Picture Insect works great. It’s free (of course there’s a premium version). I put the pic in and quickly got mantidfly.



These go to eleven.
