Bug ID?

[SlugSlinger]

That is a wide mouth canning jar.

It’s a big bug with eyes like a fly.

Is it a young dragon fly?
Or this.

It's a robber fly, it's a bug eater.

AKA: assassin fly.

 

[TinkerTanker]

Robber fly. They bite like satan himself too.

 

[Snattlerake]

That is a good bug, don't squish!

 

[Rustytigwire]

They catch horseflies in flight!
Kill and eat them.
Awesome to watch.
Good bug.

The only reason they would bite a human is if someone catches one. They don't land on humans.

 

[SlugSlinger]

It has been released back to the wild.

For some reason they like to attempt to land on hot tractor mufflers and exhaust, at least the giant black ones around here do. The ones that are 2-3" long.
