A Thick headed fly
Jul 2, 2019 23:27:40 #
Conopidae sp.
Another hover fly. I hadn't seen before, or if I did, didn't know it.
It makes a pretty good imitation of a wasp , at a glance.

Are you sure it's a hover fly, Victor? It looks like a wasp to me. Anyway, whether it's a fly or a wasp, it's still an excellent shot.

Thanks Doc. It looked weird, but when I saw it on the screen it was clear that it was a fly, so I looked it up.
Flies (Diptera) » "Acalyptratae" » Sciomyzoidea » Thick-headed Flies (Conopidae) » Conopinae
Those hover flies are sure good at imitating bees & wasps!

Thanks Chuck. I didn't find out, however being flies, I'm sure they suck.

Indeed! I wish I could have gotten a closer shot, but it left as I was moving closer.
