Here’s a pic I thought you might like for your files. This marvelous beast of a fly was on a black truckbed liner, and very wary–got one shot. Found mid-June, mid-Missouri, at a small camp site in a rural area (farms around).
The color in this image was not edited in any way, FYI.
Thanks to your site, which I visit regularly (and link to, on my blog), I was able to positively identify it pretty easily. Thanks for all you do!

Hi Lisa,
This is a positively gorgeous male Black Horse Fly and a gorgeous photograph as well.
