If anybody can tell me who or what this intimidating fellow is, I would be very grateful. His abdomen is reminiscent of the dragonfly; however, his wings are folded over his back. Dragonfly are distinguished by their wings that poke out the sides of their thoraxes. It definitely does not have a stinger. His hairy legs and compound eyes make me think of the common housefly. Is this some fancy fly from far away?
Thats an amazing picture! I would say its fly mimicking a bee. Possible of the sawfly or bee fly subspecies. They can be incredibly frustrating to identify though.
Cool photo for sure!!
Oh wow!
This looks quite amazing 🙂
Thanks! ✌️
It’s robberfly, natural predator, fed on other harmful insects.
