Your letter to the bugman:  We’ve had a large number of these critters in the last few weeks. Caught this one sitting on my windshield and was able to get a pretty close image.

Dear C Hunter,
This is a Picture Winged Fly, Delphinia picta,  which is pictured on BugGuide, and according to BugGuide:  “Breeds in decaying organic matter, such as compost” so we suspect you have a compost pile nearby.
