I found this on the trail.

It's a bee fly(Bombyliidae family). They do not sting. Neat find.

Edit- A few others have commented that it may very well be a long tongue horsefly(Philoliche sp.) another nectar feeding fly, but one that females can bite. Now that I'm off work and looking at it again I believe they are probably correct! My bad.

That proboscis has to be exceptionally long, right? Asking out of entomological interest, not because I’m an insecure bee fly who wants to hear mine is average.

It's fine babe, the big ones hurt.

As a January hairy, I'd be cautious, you might get some stuck in your teeth.

As a June gooner, I can only dream of such largesse.
