Ommatius (Male?) - Ommatius Naples, Collier County, Florida, USA August 21, 2007 Size: see photos
Under the office macroscope, it's quite easy to see that the antennae are branched and feathery in appearance. According to H. Raney's informative site, this is an indicator of the genus Ommatius.
Again, and unfortunately, this specimen was found dead in the office breezeway. This specimen seems to have beaten itself against a light, for there is catastrophic damage to the eyes/head and thorax. There were two others, very similar in appearance, as well, albeit atraumatic.
