A dance fly from Lorne, Australia.

The "vignetting" is actually just the shape of a small green leaf behind the subject, and I had to place the camera just right to make that work.

A Giant Dark Horsefly - Tabanus sudeticus, the largest fly in Europe
This was sat on a car in the rain, fortunately this one is a male, only the females bite and only when they need the extra protein to create eggs, the rest of the year like the male pictured the female feeds mainly on nectar.
