Feather legged fly (Trichopoda plumipes)

This is the time of year to see these really cool little flies with the feathery legs, as if wearing chaps! This one was quite small, but I've seen others almost twice this size. One species of Trichopoda, but apparently not this one, is used to control stinkbugs! Feather-legged flies are in the Family Tachinidae.
