Visual Description
Andrenosoma hesperium is a species of robber fly. Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, individuals exhibit a robust, hairy body typical of many asilids.[1] The thorax and abdomen are covered in dense, often golden or yellowish setae, which contribute to its common name, "Golden-horned Chiselmouth."[2] The wings are generally clear or slightly tinted, and the legs are strong, adapted for grasping prey.[1]
