Bee fly

Thanks again Mark. Just lucky. He just flew in and sat down right beside me. Joe

Thanks Mark for your id! Joe

Nice find Joey.

Thanks Jakubko! I was just sitting in the garden trying to take photos of whatever was flying or crawling around when this bee fly just zipped in and landed on the bush right next to my chair. I had my camera in my hands so all I had to do was turn about 30° and take a few shots of him. Thanks again for your help. Joe

Yes—a bee fly in the family Bombyliidae! Great find!
