A Different Kind of Parasite - _TNY_0484
The Thelaira solivaga fly is (as the large bristles on this female hint of) a tachinid fly which means it is a parasitoid fly.
A lot of people seem to think they are scary as they assume it parsitizes on humans, but they don't. It's typically the larvae of other insect that serve as host for them.
