@crunch Look up "Panorpa nuptialis" on iNaturalist and you'll get a detailed locality map. I've seen them also at Zilker, and at the Wildflower center. It's mostly a timing thing; adults are only active for a few weeks in October/November. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/84332-Panorpa-nuptialis

What a beauty! I’m sure they know how pretty they are.
@alexwild Woah they have a unique look. Haven’t seen one before
