WOW.
I study flies for a living and it STILL took me a second to parse that this WASN'T a wasp! 😱
The shape and patterning of its abdomen, thorax, & wings is BANG on; if I saw a headless version of this fly it would FOR SURE take a while for me to understand why it was 'missing' a wing pair. 🤔
The head/eye shape is typically a dead giveaway, but that INCREDIBLE pigmentation on its compound eyes mimics both the marquis shape & *reflection* of a wasp eye.🤯
Amazing. ✨🐝🎉
