Poecilominettia valida
Very nice shot! Corrent that it's a lauxaniid, but the species is Poecilominettia valida (Walker).

Thank You
Steve,
I'm still trying to get used to shooting with my new Canon EF 100mm Macro. My percentage of shots like this aren't as high as I would like. More experimenting and practice. Thanks for the compliment and ID.
Robert
