FliesCan you identify this insect?
Hello,
I found this in my lawn. It’s the size of a common housefly, but very distinctive with the clear/colored wings. It appears to have a nector probe. Any idea what it is? Thanks!
John
Hi John,
This is a Major Bee Fly, Bombylius major. It is a nectar feeding fly that is found in both North America and Europe.
