A few weeks ago I posted this shot for some ID help and did not get much help.
But since then I have found out that it is some type of Larve.
This is what hatched out...
 
I think it is a type of Mud Dauber

if this is a maggot and a fly, they sure are extreamly different than any maggot or fly I have ever seen. The larve/maggot is pretty big, about 10 times bigger than a normal white fly maggot. And the fly looks more like a type of wasp or bee than a fly.
The one I have a pic of is a just hatched one. I saw an adult flying aroud and they are about 2.5 times bigger than the one I have a pic of.

For the bug eyes macro I used my canon 50mm 1.4 + the 12 & 24mm kenko extention tubes,the other fly shot was just the 50mm lens and the other shot of the larva was taken with my 28-200mm + 12mm Kenko tube

Mud Daubers have a thin waist much like other types of wasps. They emerge fully formed from the mud casing in which they incubate.
Usually jet black and very sleek, never known one to sting anyone, but the equipment is there! |
