You do understand that you've literally been shown to be wrong but are still in denial, right? Want me to quote it again?

OK, I'll post it again for your benefit...

"Deer flies in the genus Chrysops are up to 10 mm (0.4 in) long, have yellow to black bodies and striped abdomens, and membranous wings with dark patches"

Im not talking about deer flies
I’m talking about horse flies.
The image posted isn’t either
It’s a hover fly.

Either that or a queen wasp.

Wasps also have yellow to black abdomens, as do many bees and hornets. It's not an entirely useful characteristic.

Dogs have 4 legs and a tail, and so do cats...

Right...again...I've literally posted text from an article stating that theyre not just dull colours. I've danced to your tune to Google the term horsefly and it shows striped yellow flies.
Genuine question...do you have some sort of...ism?

You do realise that's one location. There are multiple subspecies found in different locations? Perhaps if you had an education you might realise that?

Serious question
Are you colour blind?
Google horsefly
It isn’t yellow.

So just to be clear...you asked me to Google horse fly, I did and it shows a yellow fly. You now say the thing you asked is invalid?

I've quoted text from an article again stating that they're yellow.

You've posted nothing other than your anecdotal experience from one location.
