mantispid 25jun2000 - Dicromantispa sayi
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
June 25, 2000
Size: BL ~13 mm.
This mantispid was found on the garage apron in the CO foothills at ~ 6400' elevation. It was placed and photographed on a nearby rock. It is small with BL ~ 13 mm and length to wing tip about 15 mm. Likely this is the adult form of the larva on a Phidippus jumping spider # 1092624 which was found inside the garage. Any help with the identification of this adult is most appreciated. I will also submit two images of another mantispid found even earlier than this one.
