Harmless Guy, Pt. 2 - _TNY_7847
A male twin-lobed deerfly (Chrysops relictus) busy eating nectar of some cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris) next to the water of the idyllic Fällbodtjärnen tarn.
The female deer flies need blood to produce their eggs, but guys like this are on a strict vegan diet and won't (or even can't) bite.
Part 1 is a little wider and shows more of the flower: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50610657811/
