Tachinid?
I suspect it is a tachinid, but no idea which one. I doubt the "Batman" insignia is a normal marking, probably pollen, or soil particles from when it eclosed from the pupa. Now that you are apparently back in Canada I can like you again:-) LOL!

Hi Eric

Thanks for the hint! I didn't Photoshop that, in case you're wondering.

I yam back for now. Might be taking BIObus south again in a few weeks though. :-)
