Ray's Flies

I can tell everyone right now, without any hesitation, that lime prickly ash, small tree or shrub, is great for flies.  Check these out.  First up is the marvelous Spilomyia alcimus.  This fly is huge in addition to being colorful.  Why it is almost an inch long.  An inch!  How about that!?

Now how about this Belvosia? It's like an ordinary goofy Tachinid fly. OK. But then check out its, big ass.  It's like some responsible party is fixing to tell me this is a bee imitater,  Huh-huh.  Theoretically, Belvosia afflicts muths.
