Moved from Megalomus fidelis.

The tip of the forewing looks more spotted rather than banded, so this may instead be M. carpenteri.

Brown lacewing?
Maybe something in or near Megalomus?



The pose of your specimen looks similar to this - head down and antennae under the body:


 
Thanks, Drew.
I think you are right about Megalomus, so I moved these to the genus.
What I said about the insect being "head down" meant that its whole body was pointed downward. I didn't even know that its head was "tucked in." I never did see its antannae.
