Ululodes macleayanus
Body about 1.5" long and probably longer when her abdomen isn't contorted at a right angle. Wings look like dragonfly wings, but lay back. Eyes are more fly-like. Antennae are very long butterfly-like with bulb shapes at the end. Abdomen stuck out at 90 degrees when I approached specimen. Parasite appears near right eye.
Found her at dusk - on a metal shepherd's crook in our yard. From spots on wings and lack of hair on abdomen, this would appear to be a female.
I suggested it for the creme colored pterosigma and the black spots on the ends of the wings. What star print? Can you send a link to a pic?
I don't know, Cindy, this spotting doesn't have those star printed eyes, like U. Quadripunctatus have.
