Acanthocephala femorata
Acanthocephala femorata gets its name from the swollen hind femurs on the male. The females have more slender legs, but both genders can be recognized by their large size, brown color, and antennae that are all reddish.

Hi Joan! Due to the huge femurs on this one, I think it may be Acanthocephala femorata rather than A. terminalis.
