Hello hope you are well, I would like to request some flies please, criminally underrated group of animals considering not only how diverse they are but also how funky a lot of the species are. Feel free to include some larvae if you'd like, I feel like their larvae are equally as cool as the adults but are rarely talked about, if you can't include fly larvae though just some funky adults is completely fine. Thanks and love the blog
Ok so I am going to take this time to show people MY FAVORITE FLY...
Saffron Robber Fly (Laphria saffrana), HIM EAT TASTY BEETLE!!!, family Asilidae, SE TX, USA
This species is thought to mimic the Southern Yellowjacket. Other robberflies in this genus, some of which are called Bee-killers, mimic various bees and wasps.
