Bee FliesWhat is this ?
Hello,
I saw this bug in our garden today. I am in the UK and have never seen anything like it before. It was moving like a humming bird, but does not look like any of the pictures of a hummingbird moth I could find anywhere else.
Thanks
John
Hi John,
After reading your letter, we were pleasantly surprised that upon opening the image, it was not a Hummingbird Moth, but a Bee Fly in the family Bombyliidae.
