Endromid #Moth #Caterpillar (Oberthueria sp., Endromidae)

Like miniature attack planes, these sleek Conopid flies—Physocephala tibialis—patrol the prairie. Males like this one, predictably, seek out food and females. The females, however, are hunting hosts for their parasitic larvae; in the case of this species, they’re after bumblebees
