Punicealis hamata (?) - Punicealis hamata
Sun Peaks, British Columbia, Canada
May 19, 2019
Size: ~ 1 inch
Found flying around ski trail.

Identified via BugGuide images as Punicealis hamata based on the red head and pronotum (Dictyoptera look like they all have black heads or black on the pronotum) and because the body showing between the pronotum and the top of the wing cases is black (in Punicealis munda it looks reddish brown).
