We have a few similar species with those wonderful blends of blues and purples. Very hard to catch - they mostly close as soon as they land and fast, random flutterers making in flight very challenging

These Horseflies (we call them March flies - I don't know why) are the bane of my dog and my existence atm...

Very pleasant shot - love the nuance in the blue tones and the color contrast.
-
Beautiful detail and light on the eyes - very well captured!
-
Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I had another more autumnal shot, perched on a pretty fallen leaf, but it seemed to me that it stood out more against this more sober background...
-
what a piece of eyes!
Around here they are also called March flies, because they usually appear in spring, and I suppose European settlers carried that name there. Maybe you should call them September flies 😀 -
We should call them Sept-to-May flies as they will be around that long...
-
Some nice colours today...

Very nice subjects!👍
