This appears to be one of the Bee Flies. Many of them lay their eggs in the soil. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing. Lee

Great macro, Jim. That is dry land for sure. Funny little guy. Looks like half fly and half bee.

As Lee said it looks like a bee fly - the wings are unique. Very different from ones I have photographed. Well done

I wish I could divert some of our rain your way, it looks like you need it, my garden was under two inches of water on Monday. Excellent macro of the fly, fantastic details. Bravo!!!!
