The red of the plant highlights the beautiful shades of green of this beautiful lizard.
It's not very nice for bumblebees that have still a method of defense. The female Thick-headed Fly will post in height, over a flower and waits for a bumblebee foraging arises, then she rushes at him, abdomen forward. If the bumblebee sees or hears it, it drops to the ground, avoiding the attacking.
This species is European but I think other conopidae must be present in America and they must have similar behavior.
It's true, in France it's a very common butterfly, but it does one of my favorites and I always take great pleasure in photographing this elegant butterfly.
It's a bit normal that they invaded several continents, since it is the man who introduced them to protect crops by eating aphids. It is easier to raise, it breeds better and faster, it is easier to feed than the local species.
