Evinrude

 One day as we were hiking along, I heard a buzzing at the side of the path.  It sounded just like the dragonfly Evinrude in Disney's The Rescuers.   As I looked for the source, I heard the buzzing increase in speed and raise in pitch.  I thought a bee had been caught in a spider's web.  Instead I found this hornet-mimicking fly  hovering above the leaf litter.  I'ts wings were beating so fast that I couldn't see them!

Nature never fails to amaze.
