[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Horia has posted the picture of a Large Bee Fly in flight today in the form of a very attractive composition. I too am posting a picture of this creature to complement Horia and his outstanding work.

The Large Bee-fly, Bombylius major, is a bee mimic. The eggs are flicked by the adult female toward the entrance of the underground nests of solitary bees and wasps. After hatching, the larvae find their way into the nests to feed on the grubs.

Bombylius major can be found in April to June throughout temperate Europe and North America and some parts of Asia.

Hello Ram,
Once again a wonderful photo taken from a very good angle and POV. Outstanding colors and perfect focus. Very difficult to catch this insect because of this flying speed.
Thanks for sharing!
Marius.
