Insect Inspect

I found this fly in my backyard. Well, actually, my dog Winston found it first. It's called a Mydas fly.





I also saw a freaking Turkey Vulture pecking at some carrion on a residential city street I frequently use! I slammed on the brakes and stared at it as it hopped into someone's front yard. I took a picture of it with my camera phone, but I don't have a USB cord to transfer it to my computer. You will have to look it up on Google Images if you don't know what one looks like. I had only observed them circling in the sky. This was my first time seeing one up-close. Its head resembles a Turkey head, thus the name.
