Ophioninae - Rhynchophion woodi

Ophioninae - Rhynchophion woodi
Hereford, lower Ash Canyon, W of Hwy. 92, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
August 16, 2018
Oak-grassland interface, 5,020' elev., SE Huachuca Mts. On Arizona Milkweed in butterfly garden.
While in the air with its hind legs spread, it was probably 3 inches across. Very impressive.
This Rhynchophion was as close as I could get with something from the U.S. (Florida).
