Looks like a cicada or a bot fly. Either one is horrible, so kill it.

It may either be a cicada or a fake plastic fly that an idiot bought from a joke shop.

That's no cicada. It looks like a simple horsefly. They do get pretty big. Just kill it or let it go.

Don't you think capturing it, taking pictures of it, and filming it before you kill it is a little weird? Don't get me wrong, I kill a bug when I see one, but still.

Put the jar in the freezer until it is pretty stunned.

Get some thin string or floss and noose it around the legs carefully. Or possibly around the thorax or whatever it's called. The body, but avoid the wings.

Affix the other end of the string to something and let it thaw out.

You'll have a fly on a string! And if you want to kill it tie the other end of the string to a cement block and put it in a river mafia style.

+10 points if you YouTube yourself with a horsefly-on-a-string. That might actually be a hit. Unless there are tons of videos like it. I didn't bother to search.

near where I live, Ontario, Canada to be exact, they relased a bunch of giant flys, (yes, quite literaly, giant flys), so if you live in the area, that may be just a cicada, or a giant fly, if you live in the U.S, they have probably over bread, causing them to be there.


Do you have to ask why?

I highly doubt there is lol, I should definitely do it, I heard those things bite and it hurts like like hell. I'm probably gonna go with your idea of tieing a rock around it and putting it in a glass of water and film it

Find out what it is and keep it, feed it, and train it to become a super-whatever it is.


Yeah, whatever.
