A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Bombomyia discoidea
The body was about 15 mm. Pollinator.
On rock formations close to a small riverbed.
Beeflies use a lot of energy when they're beating their wings and hovering, therefore it is common to see them sitting on the ground trying to warm up in the sun.
Thank you Johan Heyns (I was happy to read that you had such a great moth experience up north), Super-Mac, Riekos and Gilma :)
Have a great day all of you
