Awesoume
I've never seen the square headed family before, you're lucky. Those antennae are the best.

Yes, very lucky!
Good thing I knew that at the time and made certain to treasure all of my encounters with them while I was living in the foothills in southern California. I have yet to find any Negha since moving to western Washington. (Fortunately, we do have plenty of Agulla, so there are still some snakeflies in my world.)
