Medetera
Haven't seen any myself, but "blast off" posture seems distinctive.

 
doh!
Thanks, Ron. I've even had a Medetera ID'd before! Different spot in the yard, different camera angle, month or two apart in the ID... (hmmm, can I think of *any* other reasons that I didn't remember this particular genus) ...um...it was busy at work this week...

Thanks, as always, my friend!

 
Happens to me all the time.

Always glad to help.
