I found this bug resting on a bamboo support I use for my tomato plants. I live near Dallas, TX and found it at approximately 9:00 AM July 19, 2010. It held very still for its picture.

Hi Ruth,
Your identification of an Owlfly is absolutely correct.  In our opinion, it is in the genus
Ululodes, based on the divided compound eyes.
