Parasitic fly (Epalpus signifer)

Reveler Conservation Area

One of the early flies to appear, and large enough that it is very noticeable. It belongs to the Tachinidae, a group of flies parasitic on other insects.

Good thing they are small, just their appearance would scare me off. Terrific closeup. V

Agree with Jim, Helen and Chris! Nevertheless, your shot is sharp, well composed and ornamental! V

That is one evil looking fly. Great detail and the neutral back ground sets it off nicely, Christine. Vote.
