Bee Fly, Part III

I promise imagine that this will be my last bee fly post, but my fascination with this tiny insect drew me back out to the field where spermacoce prostrata - a false buttonweed that I think looks like a tiny wedding bouquet - grows in abundance and I first discovered the bee fly.

Bee Fly, Part II

I was fascinated by my bee fly discovery, so as soon as I could grab my camera late this afternoon and head out to the field nearest the road where I had found the bee fly on Saturday, I did, and I was not disappointed. I'm still not satisfied that I've captured the best photos, but at least it is a bit more than what I had posted before.
