Chonky boy for largemouth bass. If the wind stays calm, I'll take it out on the paddle board tonight.

A hypnotic-eyed, soft-focus tabanid fly who has obviously been twirling his upturned moustache in anticipation of eating.... er, MEETING you.

Here's a little syrphid . I think it's a Margined Calligrapher (Toxomerus marginatus). I like this picture because the veins in the wings are so easy to see.

You can tell that this fly is in the family by looking at its wings. If you zoom in on the middle of a wing you'll see a place where 2 lines cross, making a + sign. The short line is a real vein, but the long one is a false vein. It's just a dark ridge, not a real vein. Nearly all syrphids have this.

A Violet Leafwalker (Chalcosyrphus chalybeus). These flies are wasp mimics. They even flick their wings the way mud-dauber wasps do. From some angles they are dark, Darth Vader black. From other angles they have the color of cobalt blue bottles.

A Robber Fly/Assassin Fly (Asilidae) resting on a leaf of Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).
The fly is a powerful predator of insects.
The leaf of the plant is something you want to avoid touching, even just with your shoes.

A crane fly in the reeds (there's a book title for you!).

Does anybody know yet what (or if) adult crane flies eat? Their elaborate mouthparts are fascinating. Is this fly watching/sniffing for mates or food? Or just enjoying the sunshine and rippling water?
