Found this mantis in Central Florida. What kind is it? Thanks

Hi Mr. Strong,
What we can tell you for sure is that this is not a mantis. It is a totally unrelated insect known as a Mantidfly in the family Mantispidae. The genus and species are pure speculation. Your specimen resembles Dicromantispa sayi which is pictured on BugGuide.
