Pigeon horntail (female)…
Don't recall seeing these (wish I did) when I lived in Westchester county (Hartsdale).

See reference here.

Yep! It's a horntail!
I love horntails. I had one as a pet once that I caught at Bug Camp. They're so cute!

Bug camp?
That's totally not fair- And a horntail as a pet- that's pretty freaking sweet too... Although I still like my vinegaroon...
