. . . this guy is hairier than a Deer Fly, has a way more projectile blond mustache, lacks the Deer Fly's prominent orange antennae, and sports eyeballs that look like welding goggles. By the way, the picture isn't good for judging scale. I guesstimate that this fly is about eight times as big as a Common House Fly.
I'm going to have to make this post without an identification, sorry. The bug is awesome, though, right?
Hello - It's a Bumble Bee Robber Fly. We had these in California. Google image that and I think you'll agree. Flies don't actually sting, but some bite - there’s no venom. Wasps, ants and bees have stingers with venom.
