Embiidina - female

Embiidina - Female
Santa Ana NWR, Alamo, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
November 6, 2013
This is a female Embioptera, but it is very difficult to tell what the species (or even genus or family!) it belongs to. Females of Embioptera are notoriously difficult to identify since they lack wings or full development of other normal adult features. They sort of all look pretty similar. There are a few groups represented in southern Texas. - Kelly B. Miller, Ph.D.
