Oh what's this? A Ribombee OC? Yup!

This is Pixie! She's a playful little Ribombee girl who loves going through flower fields. She doesn't like rain much since she's afraid of getting wet. She also loves fairy related stuff.

Saw the cutest insect ever today! A species of bee fly called Anastoechus barbatus, no common name. It looks like a little flying cloud of fluff!

A small bee fly sits on a blade of grass. It is yellowish brown and fluffy/fuzzy all over, with little transparent wings and a small black proboscisThis photo of the bee fly is with it sitting on a little yellow aster. All you see of it is a off-white ball of fuzzy and 2 lines , the wings, stretching out from it horizontally

Greater Bee Fly, a tiny speck of an orange ball that we noticed flitting about the wildflowers.

Really lucky with this new bee fly in the garden - Conophorus sackenii. It isn't a rare insect, but it is not commonly observed - only the 6th one on iNaturalist and the first one in the province! It is feeding on Canada anemone, a native flower.

A mid-size bee fly, about honey bee size, sits on the stamen of a white anemone, an open, daisy like flower. It has a dark, hairy abdomen and mostly transparent wings with a dark brown network of veins.

I appreciate this fly's dedication to the goth aesthetic.

(It is a type of Bee Fly that is apparently found all over the NA continent but I don't think I've ever seen or at least noticed this particular kind until now.)

A small insect that looks like a cross between a bee and a fly, with an elongated ribbed abdomen and fuzzy butt, and angular wings that are mostly black but clear along the length of their aft and the tips. It is on a small white flower collecting pollen from the yellow stamens.

Here's another thick (and furry) trunk for you: a #beeFly feeding on #lilac #flowers 🍑

A close-up image shows a bee-fly on a cluster of Syringa vulgaris, also known as lilac, in full bloom. The bee-fly's furry body and delicate wings are in sharp focus against the soft, pastel purple petals of the lilac.

I tracked down the illustrator of the above: Amanda Konishi. Here's that bee fly. #BeeFly #bombyliidae #diptera #insects #illustration instagram.com/p/DCrsP_kR4K6/

A cute little bee fly during its patrol. It was hovering in the same spot, constantly chasing away other insects entering its territory.

#FliegenderFlausch #BeeflyWatch Die Wollschweber (Bombylius) sind im Garten unterwegs! 🐝🥰 Da ich kein gutes Foto machen konnte, habe ich gezeichnet. 😇 #Dortmund #gardening #beefly #pleinAirpril #urbansketching #urbansketchers #inkdrawing #traditionalart #sketchbook #art #kleineKunstklasse

Ink drawing of a garden hedge with various bushes. A bench and a table stand in front of it. A woolly hoverfly floats above. Lines indicate that it has just performed a rapid flying maneuver.

Yet another Dark-banded bee fly. They are extremely abundant this year. I had no idea though that the little Platycheirus albimanus (I think) hoverfly was present. With the shallow depth of field, they must be almost touching. A dramatic defence of territory by the smaller insect?

A rounded, stubby insect with fluffy ginger fur, very narrow wings and a long snout, taking a rest. A much smaller thin hoverfly with metallic jacket and grey striped body seems just about to make contact

Another Dark-edged Bee Fly (Bombylius major).

Several of these were hovering but at around 20cm off the ground, in open sunshine over dried mud.

The Eristalis were also hovering but at around 1.7m and kept close to the hedge.

These were also hanging around their mining bee hosts.
