Large Bee Fly
Bombylius
1/2 to 3/4 inch
Large Bee Fly pollinating flowers on Antelope Island in late
Summer. The larvae
of these insects feed on solitary bee larvae. They hover
and can fly very fast. If
you want to see thousands of them, visit the eastern side of Antelope
Island
during August. © Carol Davis, 9-11-05
