big fly - Paradejeania rutilioides Napa, Napa County, California, USA October 8, 2005 Size: .75 inch
This unusually large (at least 3/4 inch) hairy, colorful, fly found its way into my kitchen and was buzzing against the window until I 'rescued' it, whereupon it demonstrated its gratitude by posing for me before flying happily away. I thought it was a bumble bee at first, but now am convinced it's a fly. Would really like to know what kind.
