Thanks to a nerdy friend, I may have identified my "ugly bug"! She pulled out her handy-dandy "bug key" (she's studying Genetics at NCSU and is taking entomology) and identified my ugly bug as a Robber Fly. They feed on flies and other flying insects. I'm so glad I have such smart friends!
Check out more info about Robber Flies if you're interested!
Also, at the recommendation of a friend, I submitted my picture to the South Carolina Wildlife Federation for a Wildlife photo contest. I don't think anything can be wilder than my ugly beach bug!
