Thank you James for your kind words.
Beautiful spotting as always Luis. You are a wonderful photographer. Keep them coming!
Thank you Juan and Lauren.
This one is a great find Luis! Never saw a Bumble Bee Tachinid before!
I agree is a Tachinid fly, and is amazing how this fly is mimetizing a bumblebee
Thank you Mark Ridgway for the ID suggestion.
Great series Luis. Fabulous fly. Tachinidae ?
