Deer fly - Chrysops - Female
Woodside Township, Otter Tail County, Minnesota, USA
July 11, 2012
If you feed them they will pose for you. Photographed at 18:33. Unfortunately I do not have a dorsal shot of this fly. I was concentrating on documenting the feeding behavior that I did not think of that. I will post another shot showing more of its mouth parts.
