That's a female. Take a look here also: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/IN/IN74500.pdf 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. http://bugguide.net/node/view/497494
