Mallophora fautrix
Bee-mimic robberfly. Around 2.5 cm in length.
Grassy area around a pond
Got bit several times by fire ants while taking this photo.
Great shot! Just love this species and am glad someone else got a close-up of it :)
Thanks everyone for your compliments! It makes getting swarmed by fire ants worth the shot! :)
