Laphria sp? Flavicollis? - Laphria flavicollis - Male
Lake Park, Becker County, Minnesota, USA
July 11, 2017
Robber fly: flavicollis or other (such as virginica) species? I'm getting a bit mixed up reading the comments on other photos regarding the differences, but I think flavicollis is in NW Minnesota and virginica is not. Extra bonus points, it appears to be eating a Stomoxys calcitrans, yaay! Eat all of them you can buddy!
