Bee-fly, Bombilius major
A stroll today down the path to Ashton, this time remembering to take a camera, was rewarded, not only with shots of Peocock, and Comma, but also with a sighting of a Bee-Fly, Bombilius major. While hovering like a humming bird, the long proboscis is used to gather nectar. It is quite harmless
though the high pitched whine may cause some alarm.
