Hi Evi,
The female Black Horse Fly, Tabanus atratus, deposits her eggs on a plant near the water’s edge.

Hello from Florida!
If not Tabanus atratus – what is it?? In any case, we collected egg sac including substrate directly below (damp and marshy) Hopefully, the maggots will hatch for us, helping us with ID. Thanks for your immediate response!

hi Evi,
We are confused by your new email. We agree that this is a Black Horse Fly, Tabanus atratus. We posted your photo and replied directly to you. Perhaps there was some garbling with the communication.
