nobody guessed, but thought you'd enjoy knowing about this cool SCORPION FLY (family Panorpidae, order Mecoptera). The MALE shown here has enlarged genitalia that resemble a scorpion's stinger, but MY fotos from a few posts back were of a female, which lacks this prominent feature. They've been very active in our garden the last few weeks and a joy to behold! Undoubtedly one of my favorite kinds of flies!
