Mega Eyes, Pt. 2 - _TNY_1896

On our way down for a swim in the picturesque lake Vedasjön, I noticed this hefty horsefly in the sun on wooden fence next to the path.

 

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure this is a hairy-legged horsefly (Hybomitra bimaculata) - and a female one with that biting apparatus.

 

Fortunately she posed for a couple of shots before I got to ambitious and crept too close, making her fly away.
