Thank you and a Question
From browsing, the ones I see that look like my photo are not id to species but are in a separate folder from several years ago and labeled tmp page: images identified by Dr. Oswald as Myrmeleon sp. (Myrmeleon tmp page: images identified by Dr. Oswald as Myrmeleon sp.). See photo 72957, for example. Does this mean that the genus can't be id beyond that and that my photos show a Myrmeleon?

I forgot to mention that Myrmeleon immaculatus in the link you provided seems to have a different shape to the tip of the wings to me? Do you agree or is it the way that the wings are being held?
