easily one of the cutest blowflies i've ever seen. it's tempting to go on about how absurd it is that most people hate this little animal despite her huge eyes, goofy behavior and polite stance but it would be beating a dead horse. she would then lay eggs on the dead horse

Absolutely gigantic Rutilia fly spotted in the rainforest.
04/12/23 - Rutilia sp.
QLD:WET - Rainforest nursery
Fly feeding on nectar and/or pollen. I very often see more flies on flowers than Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, etc) or Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). Let's save not just the bees, but all the bugs, regardless of how they look <3 (with exceptions when it comes to public health, invasive species, agriculture, etc) Species unknown, superfamily Oestroidea Northeastern Pennsylvania, US
Unknown Bristle fly (family Tachninidae).

I’m not very good at identifying flies...
The closest ID I could find, is that this fly may be apart of the Senostoma genus (perhaps Senostoma longipes, or Senostoma punctipenne).
