Feather-legged Fly
Trichopoda pennipes (Fabricius 1781), I believe. Found at Rocky Run Fishery Area in south central Wisconsin. Columbia County, Wisconsin, USA.
This beauty landed on the head of a bent over prairie plant in grassland at side of path. Mixed forest on other side of path. It was early evening and I think this may have been its chosen resting spot for the coming night.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
