Scathophaga
You can tell by looking at the legs on this last fly that they
can spring on takeoff. Fun to watch and seemingly happy to
pose for a photo at this time of the year. Quite a handsome creature
for their assigned duty on Mother Earth. It's a dirty job but...(you know
the rest). © Carol Davis, 4-1-07
