Anyone know what this montrosity is? Kinda looks like a giant horsefly. I didn't think he could fly anymore but he just eventually took off, I figure he had about enough of me.

aka Locust. We have a few around here this year. Last year or year before there were thousands of them. Ugly but harmless. Pretty neat bugs.
