Kinda reminds me of metal lapel pins
Found some old sketchbook doodles of my old VGC Ribombee that needed some attention.
( He's such a D I V A )

Bee fly checking out my table
Bee fly! Not a bee, cannot sting. Just a pollinating friend. 🐝

Noticed another fuzzy fella, this time a Bee Fly (Bombyliidae, species uncertain) hanging out in the shade. 🥰

This is a close-up, in-flight photo of a bee-fly (family Bombyliidae) captured against a smooth green background. The insect has a fuzzy, brownish body and large, clear wings with darker edges. Its long, slender proboscis extends straight forward, used for feeding on nectar while hovering. The legs are extended slightly downward, and the image is sharply focused on the head and body, with the wings showing motion blur from rapid flapping.

A fluffy golden bee fly sits on a yellow flower bud with a green stem. There is a blurry yellow flower in the background. The fly is facing right and slightly downward, and it has a large, dark eye and a short dark proboscis. The photo was taken in Cochise County, Arizona, in September 2024.
Fancy golden bee fly, being fancy.

Bee fly dorsal view.
Bee fly lateral view.
I cannot believe I got to see one of these on a walk today. Here is, what I assume to be, a type of woolly bee fly.

A bee fly on my zinnia. It is a native pollinator that resembles a bee but comes from the fly family. I had no idea what they were until today. You can see the big, fly wings with a fuzzy body with stripes. They don't bite or sting. 🌱 🐝🪰 #insects #beefly

Macro photo from my iPhone; it’s a large bee-like fly with striking patterns on its wings. They sometimes resemble tiger stripes, which is where it gets its common name from
Tiger bee fly 🐅🐝🪰
(Xenox tigrinis)
Didn’t have time to grab the big camera for this one, but I’m glad I snapped a pic before it crawled away
They lay their eggs outside of a carpenter bee’s borehole, then the eggs hatch and crawl inside to eat the bee’s offspring

This is a close-up, sharply focused photograph of a bee-fly (Bombylius major) in mid-flight. The bee-fly has a furry, brownish-orange body, long slender legs, and a prominent, straight proboscis extended forward for feeding on nectar. Its wings are blurred from rapid motion, giving a strong sense of movement. The background consists of a natural grassy ground, softly blurred to emphasize the insect.

Two small Slender Bee Flies (genus Geron) rest on daisy fleabane (Erigeron annuus) blooms, using their proboscises to drink nectar from the flowers’ centers. The penny-sized blooms highlight just how tiny these flies are, measuring only 4–7 mm in length.

I was standing in the garden this afternoon, wondering why I hadn't seen any Western Bee-flies yet this year, and guess who appeared?!

A comma butterfly resting on old grass stalks.
A dark edged bee-fly feeding on a primrose flower.
With the fine spring weather there were lots of pollinators flying in the woods yesterday. These butterflies and the beefly were spotted in Easter Breich Wood, West Lothian. #butterflies #walkinthewoods #pollinators #WestLothian #beefly #spring
