"Carolina" leaf roller from Missouri - Camptonotus carolinensis - Female
Shaw Nature Reserve near Gray Summit, Franklin County, Missouri, USA
September 8, 2009
Size: 25 mm body
The length stated does not include the ovipositor. This individual was in a patch of SE-US native Arundinaria bamboo, but I've encountered them on various other plants, and even found an aggregation of several males in a crumbling old stone chimney in the woods.

This critter's feet look well formed for holding on to smooth leaf surfaces.

I agree....
GREAT photo....and I had not noticed their 'feet' prior to your mention of them. Very informative.
