Broad-headed Bug

Description:

Photo take at night by the light entrance at home , about 2.5 cm long strong and long legs at the back.This is a wasp mimic, but not a particularly good one from my human vantage point. They have curved hind tibiae, with males having slightly thicker legs than the females. They also have two large white spots on each side of the thorax. These imitate the same markings that occur on some kinds of sphecid wasps and, combined with the slender general body shape, they probably give a predator enough wasp-like signals to make them hesitate.

Habitat:

Found from Florida south México, Central America Guatemala, Honduras, Panama.
