Cacotherapia? - Cacotherapia
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
April 5, 2020
I've been identifying these as Cacotherapia sp., but now I'm wondering if that is wrong. The description there says they have long labial palps. This does not, unless they are hidden. Usually they have more green than this one has, but there is still a slight greenish tinge. They usually sit with anterior end elevated from the surface they're sitting on. I don't have a side view of this one, but you can tell it has the end of its abdomen raised.

Seems like Cacotherapia flexilinealis might be correct after all.
