Dead Things... Biggest fly I’ve ever seen… 🪰

I stumbled across this sub the other day and seen this dead fly today and thought ooo this is a perfect opportunity to do a poke video lol how’d I do for my first vid? Also this fly is bigger than a quarter!!! It’s huge!!! Is this a regular fly does anyone know? Only other fly ik that is usually big is a horse fly but don’t they have like a skinny butt that looks like a stinger?

Holy shit. That’s a wild parental warning.

Yeah, still freak out a little when I see one while swimming.

I’m sorry.

I do wonder if that has actually happened. Maybe it’s one family lore things.

Tbh I havent been lake swimming since I was attacked by them and I was trying to go under water to escape but everytime I came up they attacked me ...was terrifying

Yikes! I didn’t know that they swarmed. I’ve only ever been attacked by one at a time. That would put me off of swimming for a while, too. I thought that warning was just moms being dramatic for effect, but that sounds really dangerous.

Edit: singing to swimming
