Tachinid - Ptilodexia
Newfound Gap, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevier County, Tennessee, USA
August 9, 2008
Size: 10 mm
Size estimated. There was a really pretty Tachinid (with a fuzzy orange abdomen) buzzing around flowers in the area as well, but I missed it. I think Stephen Creswell got it. Stephen?
