    These are some of the bugs that I have around my house. Some I have identified and some I have not.

    Great pics. I like insect photos. I think your horse fly might be a robber fly.

    Thanks Kildale, it is a Robber Fly probably Neoitamus flavofemoratus from everything that I looked at. This was the only species that looked like mine. :-D
