Tiger Bee Fly

I find these flies fascinating. They're big and rather scary looking. But apparently they just parasitize carpenter bees or some such thing. No danger to me personally!

Ronda stopped by this morning. I had put nothing out at all, but I saw her out front looking around so I opened the door and told her I'd be out with her peanuts. She obediently went up the tree and waited to be served. See extra.
