Yellow dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria sp.)

These flies are very bee-like with their fuzzy bodies. There were no butterflies to be seen today, too windy. But scores of Andrenid bees, lots of flies, and several woolly bear and ctenucha moth caterpillars were around.

The yellow Dung flies on the red maple flowers are such an attractive color combination Christine. They should have a feast with all the manure you spread today.
