#marshsnipefly

Marsh Snipe Fly (Rhagio tringarius) in my backyard, July 2018. The adults of these large flies don't seem to feed, while their larvae feed on soil-dwelling invertebrates. I'm fairly sure this one is a male, because the enormous eyes meet each other in the middle. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #simcoeontario #snipefly #marshsnipefly #rhagiotringarius #rhagio #rhagionidae #dipteran #insectsworld #insects_of_our_world #invertebrate #backyardbugs #macrophotography #macroinsects (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqW2yTpMfD/?igshid=5bp83vpg3xvm
