Mantidfly - Dicromantispa interrupta

Mantidfly - Dicromantispa interrupta
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
June 1, 2007
Size: about 1"
My first mantidfly. It was marching along the ceiling of my front porch, where the light attracts tons of very small insects. As such, these pictures are all rotated 180 degrees. I'll move it to the family page if no one can do any better than that.
