Today this big fly came in a window and landed on my biggest horse conch. By the time I got my camera it was flying around again. So I followed it around for a while hoping it would land on something photogenic again, but unfortunately it didn’t cooperate.

It is a [tiger bee fly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenox_tigrinus).
