Bot Fly? - Cuterebra fontinella

Bot Fly? - Cuterebra fontinella
Brighton, Noprthumberland, Ontario, Canada
July 16, 2009
Size: 1 1/2 cm
Now quite a bit darker.
As a side note, this Bot Fly deposited eggs on a stick that I had inserted into the jar for it to climb on. So I guess it's safe to assume that this is a female.
