i just checked on my pic related and she wasn't in the terrarium. after an intense bout of panic she reappeared. either she pulled a houdini or just blended in really well with the substrate

It's kinda sad.

they're also so retarded they often end up starving because they're unable to feed.

Your fly is a robber fly. They're incredible insects that hunt other insects on the wing. Vicious and amazing to watch when hunting.

>robber fly
I do think they're remarkable, but I admit I go after them with lethal melee weapons if I catch them trying to pick off my wasps.
I like to fuck bees

Is that chrysididae or halictidae? I would assume since it's on what looks like a shirt to be a halictid.

I'm not sure there are any blue Halictidae. Also looks pretty damn big and too hairy for Chrysididae, at least the ones I know.
Honestly looks like an orchid bee to me (Euglossa, Euglossini). Also I think I see the enlarged tibia on the last leg which is typical for male orchid bees.

i just assumed chrysisidae but the only way I know is to look at their butts
chrysididae have big butts and not very constricted waists and halictidae have the more usual narrow waste associated with hymenopterans
