Hello, and please help. A friend who takes some remarkable67photos in her garden though she is not an entomologist, showed us these photos in a facebook forum (Butterflies, Bugs, Bees and other small things).
The location is in Grahamstown, in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. It looks very un-Tabanid-like to me, but if it is not, then I don't know what it is. It is sitting on a Gazania, and I guess its body length at about 1 cm or so. Any ideas, anyone, please?
Now wish me luck with my uploadings; I am new here! :)
Hmm... Not enough wishes or not enough luck. Here goes!
