Have you ever seen a Bee Fly?

Posted by lisaonthebeach on

This little cutie is classified a Lordotus, a genus of bee flies. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Well now you have 😊

I discovered him through my camera lens on my morning exploration.

He is so soft and fuzzy looking, I just fell in love with him.

💛🐝💛

      Well, I am not familiar with the movie, but a quick search on line indicates I would not so much like it 😱
      …my bee fly is a friendly little critter 😊

      Thank you! We have extra plant growth this summer from the rains, which brings more insects to discover! 😊

      Yes! And through my camera lens I think he was even cuter. With all of our monsoon rain we have more plants, and more insects. 😊
