#beeflies — Public Fediverse posts

Lots of #insects emerging with the sunnier weather locally. Brimstone butterflies in the garden this morning, a few solitary #bees around. Need to keep a lookout for #beeflies
#Spring

Spotted Bee Fly (Anthrax irroratus) larvae are parasitoids of solitary bees and wasps, living in close association with their hosts and ultimately causing the host’s death.

The Greater Bee Fly (Bombylius major) mimics a bee, allowing it to approach solitary bee and wasp nests unnoticed. Females flick their eggs inside, and once hatched, the larvae consume the host’s larvae.
