Mydas fly - Mydas tibialis
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
August 18, 2006
Found in a pool. Everyone flipped out when they saw this giant fly (they thought it was a bee) buzz into the pool. I quickly got in the pool and collected it.

First for August PA.

Don't you love the looks you get from people when you do something like that? That's probably the greatest part about being into bugs...
