Bug of the Day
Happy Fly Day Friday! Please enjoy this absolutely gorgeous ornate snipe fly (Chrysopilus ornatus). From June 2019.
#365Insects 93: #Chrysopilus fasciatus (Say, 1823) The brilliant golden hairs (Chryso = gold, pilus = hair) arranged in bands (fasciatus = banded) on the abdomen of this Snipe Fly make for an accurate epithet. (at University of Guelph)
