location seems off
on this image, given the data for the second image and the ants? Would be cool if they were here though!

Nice find man!
And great photo.

Random, but this reminds me of another cool, obscure-ish bug there: Enicocephalidae. I once found them in Cornell Plantations (now Cornell Botanic Gardens) along Fall Creek. keep an eye out for those too! Good times bug-hunting in Ithaca!

Never seen them before
Must be this one?

I remember seeing that when I was first looking at photos of things I could expect to find around Cornell (your multitudes of images from Ithaca were very helpful!). Will have to make a point of heading over there next year to look for them!

That's it!
They're so cool. I've enjoyed seeing your excellent photos from the area -- keep up the good work!
