Humpbacked Fly (Toxophora)

in Hive Learners3 years ago

I would like to come up with another species of insect, that is humpbacked fly (Toxophora). Humpbacked is one of the little flies occasionally seen perching on the plant. It commonly lives throughout tropical countries. Look like mosquitoes but it tends to be classified into the order of fly. I found this insect around the bush near the village street. It is quite an impressive and unique fly, which urged me to hunt it down with my smartphone camera. Toxophora or humpbacked fly is the family of Bombyliidae, in the order Diptera.
