This particular shot, was one I lifted the camera, fired off an image and on the second frame, the bug was gone. In other words, I only got one shot of it. But when I looked at the shot, I really liked it.
All I know about this ugly, little critter is it is a member of the Tachinidae family and probably a species of Peleteria. But he sure is a cool looking fly. Besides, I love the way I cropped the shot. 8v)Misty Dawn's Camera Critter Meme is a great way to see critters of all types. Go to the Meme homepage here and check out more entries.

(Editor's Note: I would like thank Misty Dawn for suggesting the crop used for this image...Sorry, Misty)

You even make flies look great! I was trying to capture (with camera) a butterfly yesterday, he was taunting me, first on the ground in a spot that was damp... but the kids chased him away (my great nephews are not trained as well as my daughter) then he would land on a leaf just high enough I could not reach. A few minutes later when we passed the exact some damp spot, there he was again, but flew off before I could get in for the shot!

That is one ugly little critter it's true - but that's what's so AMAZING about this photo! It's fantastically crisp and clear - brilliant shot! :)
Great looking fly - never thought I would say that! Neat post.
I adore the little feeler thing on his head :) Great capture.
Very cool photo! That fly is unique and kind of scruffy looking. Neat photo!!
I like it, too. Great catch.
AHEM!!!!!!! WHO cropped the shot?!?! SURE - I see how it is!
that's amazing detail of his hairy little body and cool eyes. I like the 3 flower crop.
Creepy looking, great shot though:)
ohmigod, amazing shot!
Happy Camera critters
