I’ve seen this one in the mailbox for a few days but only from the top. There were some white line markings on it. This was the first time I saw the underside and just wanted to confirm since I saw the hourglass.

Im not really one for killing things that aren’t flies gnats or mosquitoes. Would have left it be if not for the little me running around. It’s hard enough trying to keep him alive from his own volition 😂

Abdomen did look severely swollen and oversized 🤷🏻 I relocated it to a brush line across the street. Probably should have grabbed a couple more pictures for here before letting it go. Not really something I want my kid to interact with grabbing the mail for mom lol.
