This one has a remarkable horseshoe pattern on its abdomen, but I haven't been able to find images on the internet of similar looking species. Location: Lacanja village, Lancandon NP, Chiapas, Mexico (near the border with Guatemala). Dec. 2014 Thanks in advance, David DJHiker attached the following image:  [183.53Kb] |

Another Toxomerus, I think, possibly the male to go with the female in the other shot. Look for the notch in the back of the eye. Toxomerus is the most common genus with a notch. |
