A fly in the family Asilidae, these are known as fly killers (the picture shows evidence as to why), however I can’t ID her down to even genus level since there are more than enough genera that look quite similar. I was hoping it would turn out to be Nemochtherus californicus, but alas it does not appear to be so.

The genus Morchella contains the true morel mushrooms, their delicate honeycomb-like appearance gave rise to the work behind this gorgeous ring. Check it out on Copious!
