Believe it or not, this is a FLY! It landed right next to me while I was having lunch! I think it's Laphria thoracica. Amazing bumblebee mimics!

Bumblebee Mimic Robber Fly (Laphria thoracica) pair in my backyard this past month. These flies make rapid pursuit flights from perches, capturing insects on the wing and returning to their perch to feed on their captured prey. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #bumblebeemimicrobberfly #bumblebeemimic #laphria #laphriathoracica #robberflies #robberfliesareawesome #robberfliesofinstagram #robberflyphotography #insects_of_our_world #insectsofontario #backyardnature #blognorfolk #norfolkwild (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQwRuQ7pGoR/?utm_medium=tumblr
