Bombyliidae - Bee Fly

Texas Canyon, Dragoon, Arizona

Spotted during my lunch hour visit to one of the ponds in the desert grounds where I work.
There are so many species and sub-species of Bee Flies! This one is in the Lordotus species.

A fuzzy little guy, isn't he. It's so impressive that you can identify all these things.

I like the slight softness to this, Carol...as if you placed a sheer curtain across it.
