these small bee imitating flies are a good example of Batesian mimicry, whereby a harmless species displays the warning signs of a more dangerous one, in this case the bee. This characteristic was discovered by insect collector and author of “The Naturalist on the River Amazons“ The larvae consume many aphids and the adults are important pollinators.
