Field Notes

Description:

Wasp body, giraffe neck, and praying Mantis something, and two short antenna that move around. It is either deformed, from outer-space or something. Winner of the year, if you are able to ID this for me. Medium sized. Oh I win! Just found it.

Mantispidae - Wikipedia, The coolest bug. Half praying mantis, half wasp. But, it's a fly. Nice. : videos
