Another Biting Fly - Chlorotabanus crepuscularis

Another Biting Fly - Chlorotabanus crepuscularis
Gates County, North Carolina, USA
June 11, 2005
Size: 16mm
Ventral view. Fly was almost dead, but I did observe some interesting abdominal undulations -- sort of a wave passing from the upper abdomen to the lower.
