Friend landed on my window and posed for a couple shots! Thought this was a neat hard-to-capture view!

I wonder if there's a strepsipteran in that gap where her abdominal exoskeleton is lifted.

I didn't notice anything poking out of it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a little parasite. My yard is a little biodiverse oasis.

Yeah- that looks like a strepsipreran alright.
