Handsome statue! I thought it was a horsefly, but a Google search shows me it's not. Then I searched "bug red eyes". Got ads for Visine!! Found red-eyed bugs, but no match for your critter. Gave up. (I'm easily entertained, I guess 😊) Do you know what it is?

I'd be giving that look too, just before screaming and waving my hands and running.

Well, I'd be very annoyed to have a bug like that sitting on my nose too! The bug should have chosen to affix itself to his hat.

GINNY — No idea. But I thought it was so interesting and attractive — as long as it wasn't on my face.

I'm with Barbara, too.
A hoot of a photo--good eye!
