Bizarre looking bug freaked the crap out me at golf
I was on the golf course in my home state of Maryland when I totally had a mini heart attack because I noticed the most bizarre bug just chilling on my shoe. It was like nothing I'd ever seen. The main body segment was like a round green pinecone, and its head looked like the head of a bee. It had wings that looked like the wings of a dragonfly and long spindly legs that looked like they came off a Huntsman (at first glance I thought it was a huge spider). I REALLY wish I took a picture but I was with a group and we had to keep moving. Freaked the shit out me though fr fr.
So yeah, anyone possibly able to identify this chimerical freak of nature?

Ok, total long shot - but take a look at this or this and see if it looks similar.
possibly some derivative of hummingbird moth but those don't quite match up
Ok, so how big was the bug? Body length? Wingspan? Were the wings clear, colored, or did they have any markings on them? Did you notice if the body had any markings, or any colors besides green? Did it look smooth, rough, spiny, hairy, or furry? Did it have a metallic sheen?
It was bigger than a dragonfly and the head, like I said, was like a bee's head. Yellow. The wings were a lot like dragonfly wings, except darker. No sheen.
