Deer Fly (Chrysops univittatus) by Sturgis McKeever

[geosesarma]

Another photogenic fly from my backlogs, Hybomitra lasiophthalma Despite how maligned tabanids are, the larger species like this lady or most Tabanus species really don't bother humans, they prefer megafauna like cows, horses, and deer, plus they've got really pretty eyes

A twin-lobed deerfly (Chrysops relictus). Like mosquitoes, egg development in the adult female requires a blood meal from cattle, horses or deer. The males are often seen on flowers while feeding on nectar.

Philaeus chrysops, female

I didn't know that we have jumping spiders in Europe, I thought they live only in America. Never seen one IRL before. And look how cute she is! She almost cured my fear of spiders.

Your blog is a delight! I love it so much. Thanks, Paxon!

Got any jays for me? I'm particularly interested in jays that aren't from North America or Europe. Thank you!

Thank you so much Kumquat.

I can think of a few jays for you...

Inca Jay (Cyanocorax yncas), family Corvidae, order Passeriformes, found in South America

The Green Jay (Cyanocorax luxuosus), from North America, and the Inca Jay were once thought to be one species, but they are now separated into 2 species.
