The invasion has started!

We found this strange creature plotting to take over the world. These fearsome aliens will soon rule the world!
Ok it is not really an extra-terrestrial, and it only about an inch and a half long. It is a snakefly.
The picture is not great but she didn't give me much of a chance to adjust the settings. I got only one shot before she flew away.

That is crazy looking. Nice shot. Not bad at all for having only one chance.

Are these little things very common? Doesn't look too friendly.

Dmuimt! Dmuimt! Dmuimt! That's the word that the anti-spam program told me to type.

Anyway, that's a nasty looking fly, we have a hornet infestation here; I got stung on the face and hand the other day -- went and got the wasp spray, and killed about 40 of the little buggers.
