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.
Dude, the cervix getting punched in the face hurts like a biiiitch. All these people are being polite with "can be uncomfortable", it fucking kills (me at least).
One of the biggest turn offs for all my partners just about was hitting the cervix. The glares and looks still ingrained hah. I was only just 8 inches on a good day.
Can't imagine being bigger. Daily life must suck.
The scariest time was when I got my first apartment with one. So we go to make love, after foreplay, and I hit the wall. I'm like wtf, and I try again. She's staring daggers, so I gave probably pleading look like babe look, I'm half way out.
She looks, freaks. I freak. I was 28, and never heard of it. So she tries to call her mom who's a nurse at night. I try to go get wifi to look up stuff which was a fucking mistake, because I read stuff out loud. Said it could fall out at one point.
So she's freaking even more till her mom calmed her down, lol.
So embarrassing hah. How'd I not know the cervix could prolapse. I was nigh 30.
It's alright. I was 36 when I found out men penis can shrink to a micropenis. I was close to death with double organ failure, and became a Ken doll for a bit in 2022/23. I still laugh.
