Description
A "feather-legged fly", Trichopoda species. These are distinctive as a genus, if one can see the fringe on the hind legs. Length is about 8-10 mm. There were a couple nectaring on cultivated (but native) Eupatorium in one of the garden plots at the North Carolina Arboretum. This one paused to bask, I think. HFDF!
