Large DF (F?) just rescued from my pool - Epitheca princeps - Female
Seminole, Pinellas County, Florida, USA
May 4, 2012
Size: wing span = 4" (measured)
Trapped in my lanai for most of the day. Finally rescued it and put it outside where it's doing fine now.
I think it's a female, but I can't find a similar picture in the Guide.
Thanks in advance.
