You got it! I'm jealous! I lived in Florida for almost 3 years and only saw captive ones!

Thanks for the conformation, Sean. Thank God they don't suck blood.

 
Yes Thank You God!
I think I would faint if I saw one of those on me trying to suck my blood that is after I killed it first. Love the colors on this one very pretty indeed! Luck you for seeing one.
