Who knew botflies could be cute?

Description: an adult deer botfly (Cephenemyia stimulator) on a rock. Its body is covered with fur-like cetae, yellow and black, resembling a bumblebee a little. Its eyes are large and black.

I suspect they were in the other thread about botflies.

Warning: Very much NOT eyebleach.
