That's a female. Take a look here also:

On something a bit off topic,
The article states, "There are nine Nearctic species of Campsomeris, of which four occur in Florida." And then goes on to show the four. Maybe it means 4 native. Campsomeris dorsata (not mentioned) from the Caribbean seems to be established in South Florida now.
