This appears to be one of the Bee Flies. Many of them lay their eggs in the soil. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing. Lee
You really brought out those spots on the wings! Fantastic macro.
Great looking macro Jim, the details are amazing

Great macro, Jim. That is dry land for sure. Funny little guy. Looks like half fly and half bee.
As Lee said it looks like a bee fly - the wings are unique. Very different from ones I have photographed. Well done
