Who knew botflies could be cute?

Description: an adult deer botfly (Cephenemyia stimulator) on a rock. Its body is covered with fur-like cetae, yellow and black, resembling a bumblebee a little. Its eyes are large and black.

Were you in the other thread where we were talking about horse flies? I accidently saw this on Wikipedia yesterday.

I suspect they were in the other thread about botflies.

Warning: Very much NOT eyebleach.

Yus indeed! Saw the link to eyebleach, then that image on Wikipedia, and the devil on my shoulder gave me a nudge.
