Argiope and Horse Fly
by Bill Leggett
I had a really good time in Jean Lafitte last Sunday with nice weather, but a bit breezy most of the time. While there I met a really nice young family who I'll keep in touch with. This gal had snared a meal, black horse fly I think, and was in the process of enjoying the bounty. The abdomen size indicates she's expecting a family, so this meal will benefit the brood. Shot from around 4-5 feet away, full height cropped to 4:3 aspect from sides.
