Eye of the beholder

This big guy, or gal, was sitting by the edge of the opening of the trash can. It was larger than most flies, and makes me think of what I use to hear of being referred to as a horsefly.

In the beautiful Riverside Park, that I've been showing photo's from, this bugs favorite place was right by the opening of the trash can. Just goes to show 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Speaking of eye(s) - aren't they an interesting color?
