Moved from Dicromantispa sayi.

When I first scrutinized this series, the following items made me suspect D. interrupta:

    1) the lengthy extent of the darkened amber edges of the wings (i.e. all the way to the apex);
    2) the general pattern of coloration (relatively uniform yellow); and...especially...
    3) the characteristic darkened brownish "knot" at the cross-vein 2ra-rp (somewhat blurry in this post, but compare with the thumbnails below):



The one anomaly seemed to be the lack of a "break" in the amber wings edges just beyond the pterostigma...which is typical (and one might assume characteristic) of D. interrupta, and the presumed origin of the specific epithet.

However, in reading the detailed description of D. interrupta, starting on pg. 257 of Hoffman(1), the agreement with this specimen was excellent. And the coup-de-grâce was one of the final remarks in that description (at the bottom of pg. 260):

    "Specimens from peninsular Florida often have the reddish-brown mark at the wing apex extended basally to the pterostigma"

Dicromantispa sayi possibly?

...see them every time I go to FL. At least you see great horned owls. I haven't seen or heard one in over a decade. Barred owls and schreech owls galore, no clue as to where the great horns went. ok , i am done being off topic now. Sorry :)

hope you were shooting the owl with a camera..:-)
