Bot Fly
Found at Finca Las Piedras, near town of Monterrey in Madre de Dios region in southeastern Peru.
I think this was a female. It was mostly flying very close to the ground amongst the low vegetation and stopping periodically apparently to deposit eggs. Here it was resting in the sun.
Single exposure, significantly cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
